the ironic contradiction that says we can have it ALL which means we have to do it ALL which leaves us feeling exhausted depleted like we want to do NOTHING 100% unrealistic expectations for modern parenting especial modern mothering are you a "yes" person? do you find it hard to say "no"? because you sincerly want to be helpful or you feel like you should be helpful or maybe you've learned how to hold strong boundaries for yourself + your time because it's your life after all * whether you feel run down by the pressure to do it all * you're working to create a life in which you are in the driver's seat rather than your obligations running you * your clear boundaries are an inspiration to others this thought is for you: i read this quote this week on ig and wow it rocked my world instead of running around feeling like i have no time but that i should have time i should be able to do it all i realized life is about choices we have X amount of time to allocate to our top priorities the rest just can't be a priority we say no to say yes to what truly matters so as you head into your week let go of that pressure false expectation that you have to do it all that there's any way you could do it all even if you wanted to instead of saying i don't have time say it's not a priority and see how it feels i found it felt superbly liberating + empowering and i hope you do too Say yes to what truly matters by saying no to the rest creating a life of priorities what's closest to your heart - not stress. You Got This.

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
