Allowing Others to Love and Support You

Dr. Brooke Weinstein
About this episode

EP:113 On this week’s episode of “Thrive Like a Parent,” I dive into how yoga and movement help spark my creativity and provide clarity in my life. For me, working out isn’t just about fitness, it’s a way to connect with myself.

I share some personal experiences, including the challenges I’ve faced as a mom of two preemies, running businesses, and going through a tough beginning of divorce before losing Jonathan. These experiences have deepened my empathy for others.

I also reflect on the importance of asking for help. You are not alone. Allow those who love to be there for you and support you..

This episode is a reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles, and it’s okay to lean on others for support.

xoxo
Dr. B
