218. The Most Important Rule in Our House (And Why You Need It Too)

from Overcome the Overwhelm for Special Needs Moms · host Lauren Lowery

If one small mistake can spiral into, “What is wrong with me?”If you replay conversations at night and cringe.If you hold yourself to a standard you would never expect from anyone else…Then this episode is for you. I’m sharing a new rule we made in our house after my daughter called herself “stupid” for making a simple mistake — and why I believe this might be one of the most important rules you can adopt in your household.Because this isn’t just about being nicer (even though that is important), it’s about so much more than just that. It’s about identity, the subtle shift from, “I made a mistake” to, “I am the mistake.”And it’s about why shame and negative self-talk do not actually make you better, and can even make things worse. This might be the rule you didn’t know you needed, for your kids AND yourself. ******To book a consult call with me, go to: lowerylifecoaching.com/consultcall
