366. Bite Size Pep Talks // Christy chats about her book!

366.  YOU'RE THE RIGHT MOM: Bite-size pep talks just for you by Christy Thomas PRE ORDER NOW: https://amzn.to/3RnNQBY   My name is Christy. I am a teacher and have worked with kids and parents for 30 years. It has never been easy for me to mother. We've had quite a few unexpected hurdles. Through that experience, I've learned self-compassion, mindfulness, and human-centered mothering that sees me as a person with needs and priorities.  In November 2018, we moved again to a new town where I didn't know anyone. On a whim, I recorded a podcast and uploaded it before we headed off to the children's science museum. This book is a celebration of that boldness. When it started, it was called Everyday Motherhood. During the great shutdown of 2020, I changed the title to Keep Calm Mother On. Each episode has always ended with a self-care and family connection play idea. I want it to be practical and helpful for you, the voice I wish I had found when my husband was on his first deployment, and I had two toddlers at home.    Put your hand on your heart with me and breathe. You are doing a good enough job.    Don't give up. I am so lucky to mother shoulder to shoulder with you right now. I am glad you are here.       Self-Care: What would it look like to play?  For 5 minutes? 10? 60? 90?  What does play look like for you and not your kids.    Family Fun:  Go grocery shopping as a family to buy food to donate to others.    Find me on Instagram: Christy Thomas — Coach for Exhausted Moms (@everyday_christy) • Instagram photos and videos.
