Mom On Purpose Foundations: Feelings

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Feelings play a huge role in your life. Your feelings are valid. Your overwhelm is valid. Your worry is valid. And it's not who you are. You are an amazing, incredible mom. You just haven't learned how to think of feelings as a skill that you can get really good at. When you learn how to think about feelings differently (with a completely different mindset) and you increase your capacity to validate your feelings, not only do you show up more as the mom you want to be, but you simultaneously help your kids, too. When your child is feeling upset about their friends, for example, you'll know exactly how to support them because you understand feelings. This skill is learnable and a total game changer for your life and your kid's lives. Tune into this podcast to learn how you can help yourself and your kids with feelings.
