#9 - Confessions of an Introverted Mother

Being an introverted mother meant learning coping skills that helped me to show up in ways I would have resisted before the gift of being a mom   The first time I understood the deeper meaning of the difference between an introvert and an extrovert, I got emotional because I wasn't aware that there were other people just like me.  I was reading a book on behavior management and thought it would be fun to take a quiz on whether I was an introvert or an extrovert, never knowing how those results would change my life.  I have since learned to own my introvert nature and to even be grateful for how I handle the world in my own unique way.   The biggest surprise I had when learning about the qualities of introverts is realizing that I wasn't a bad mother.  Up until then I was concerned with things like not wanting to be attached to my kids 24/7 and staying behind to talk at PTA meetings making me uncomfortable.   Learning that my introvert nature wasn't a character defect was a major relief.   This week I'm going to discuss the qualities of an introvert, how those qualities have affected my role as a mother and tools that you can use if you are an introverted mother.   To find out more about how to create a successful CPA career with confidence, check out http://cpa-moms-coach.com/ You can find the show notes HERE
