The Perfect Mother's Day

Happy belated Mother's Day — this one's for the moms.In our very first episode we're talking about something most of us felt but nobody said out loud this weekend — the gap between what we expected Mother's Day to look like and what it actually was.We dig into the concept of manuals — the invisible rulebooks we write for the people we love without ever telling them — and why those unspoken expectations are almost always setting us up for disappointment. Especially in the first responder wife life, where the holidays already carry extra weight.In this episode:Why expectations feel so reasonable but create so much painWhat a manual is and how to spot yoursThe specific way shift life makes special days harderOne simple question to ask yourself next time disappointment shows upConnect with Judy: judyhorton.com
