“Don’t tell me this is neutral when it’s breaking my heart.”If you’ve ever thought that, this episode is for you.When your child makes a choice that goes against everything you taught them, it doesn’t feel neutral. It feels heavy. It feels personal. It feels like everything is unraveling. It feels wrong.In this episode, I’m walking you through the difference between what actually happened and the story your brain is building around it.Because those are not the same thing.We’re talking about real situations LDS moms face every day: A daughter who is pregnant  A son choosing not to serve a mission  A child stepping away from church  A child living with a partner  A family that suddenly doesn’t look like what you pictured I’ll show you how your thoughts about these situations can quietly add layers of shame, fear, and suffering and how to start separating that out so you can feel more confident, more clear, and more like yourself again.This is not about pretending things are okay. This is about stopping the extra pain you don’t need to carry.You’re allowed to feel sad. And you’re also allowed to stay whole.If your child’s choices are keeping you up at night or weighing on your heart, you don’t have to figure this out alone.👉 Schedule a free call with me and let’s talk about what’s going on for you:https://calendly.com/sherylee-kartchner/25minI’ll help you come back to yourself… while still loving them deeply.
