51: This One Habit Is Keeping You From Becoming The Mom You Want to Be | Parenting Teens

Do you ever find yourself reaching for your phone, snacking when you're not hungry, shopping online, or staying busy just to avoid how you're feeling? We all have ways of escaping uncomfortable emotions, but those habits may be quietly keeping you from becoming the mom you want to be. In this episode, you'll discover why we buffer, how those quick escapes can actually keep you stuck, and what it looks like to face your emotions instead of numbing them. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but learning to keep the lights on is the path to lasting change, greater peace, and becoming the parent—and the person—you truly want to be. Discover more about buffering (for free!) in my recent 60 minute workshop Stop Buffering:  The Truth about over-eating, over-scrolling, over-spending, and over-analyazing...and how to stop.  Use the the code FIRSTMONTHFREE to get a 30 day trial of The Think New Thoughts Academy, where you can experience this workshop (and lots of other resources to help you live with more joy!)   Learn more about my 8-week private coaching program for Christian moms.
