125 – Is “Good Vibes Only” Toxic? Why Avoiding Certain Emotions Causes Dysregulation and What to Do Instead

Do you find yourself trying to bring “good vibes only?”  So often we can feel the need to be strong, positive, or muster up a smile when what we really want to do is scream or have a good cry.  How often do we expect the same of our kids?   The more we suppress our emotions instead of feeling and releasing them in a healthy way, the more our body stores emotional energy which leads to dysregulation and a narrow window of tolerance.   In today’s episode, we explore how we can hold space for the full range of our children’s emotions – whether “good vibes” or not, and how we can learn to connect and listen to the messages our emotions are sending us.   FREE MOM BRAIN MASTERCLASS – Powerful Strategies for Anxiety, Overwhelm, & Burnout   THE CALM MOM ACADEMY – The A-Z Roadmap to Skyrocket Your Peace, Presence, & Productivity   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!
