"What's good for you is good for your kids": Self-compassion, parenting from your strengths, aligned values, personal development, and other bucket-fillers for parents (especially moms)

Eliza Thompson has a Master's of Social Work from Utah State University. She's a certified social worker and is working as a therapist at a private practice, specializing in perinatal mental health. Eliza's a self-described self-development junkie. She frequently posts and shares thoughts on her journey and other things she learns on her Instagram account, Elizainprogress. Last year, Eliza shared some wonderful insights about motherhood, things that she had learned, sort of letters to a younger self. She posted those on Instagram, where they got a lot of notice and received a lot of positive feedback. I then shared them on my Substack page and they also got a wonderful response there. Today Eliza talks about those five lessons she learned, and her own journey from parenting in profound darkness to finding her own parenting path.Show notes:ElizainprogressSelf-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, by Kristen Neff, Ph.D.https://self-compassion.org/Fairplay by Eve Rodsky This is a public episode.
