87: How to Stop Judging Yourself as a Mom // Holding Space in Parenting, Part 2

from Think New Thoughts · host Emily Ricks

In this episode, we're building on last week's conversation about holding space for your kids and turning that same practice inward. I'll show you what it looks like to hold space for yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and why most of us tend to either coddle or criticize instead. We'll talk about a gentler, more powerful option—and why learning to hold space for yourself is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself and everyone in your family.   Feeling a little worn down as a parent?
