20. Your Relationship With Your Mother

Mindfulness can help guide us and ground us through this most intimate of life's relationships.  Love isn't always harmonious and it doesn't always feel good. In this episode, we explore the idea of choice and showing up with mindful intention rather than expectation.  We share how it's possible to hold dualities and allow your mom to be who and how she is. It's possible to not necessarily like some aspects of your relationship with her and still be immensely grateful to her.  Curiosity can help soften our automatic "judging minds."   Your mom is the exact mom for you because she is your mom. What did you learn from her? How are your differences actually strengths? What would peace do? What would love do?  What would understanding do?  What would connection do?   If you want to work on your relationship with your mother, the work is liberating.  Your future self will thank you.  Find out more about coaching at  https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/.   If you want to develop a mindfulness practice, find out more about working with Dr. Liang at https://awakenbreath.org/ *Nothing in this episode should be considered medical advice
