What's Wrong with Me?

from The Special Needs Mom Podcast Hosted by Kara Ryska

Send us a text! (click here) This week, I’m talking about a pattern I see often in caregiving—the heartbreaking habit of turning on ourselves when life feels too hard. I share how our minds default to “something must be wrong with me,” and why the truth is simpler: hard things feel hard because they are hard. Inside the episode: The self-blame cycle so many of us fall into. Three ways to shift: accepting reality, noticing comparison traps, and redefining strength. Practical reframes, like asking “what’s hard here?” instead of “what’s wrong with me?” I mentioned Episode 268: Nobody Else Has It This Hard. Go take a listen! Lastly, I also share details about the Pathway to Peace Coaching Community, opening October 14th for five days. It's your safe space to be supported and seen.
