Choice & “the holidays”
Old traditions can make us forget that we have the choice to create. What new stories are you writing for your family?
Terrified of the dark, and terrified to ask for help
Your parenting overwhelm may have surprising roots.
Let me tell you about this great Mom
It’s not about being perfectly healed for our children
Do I need to wait until my child is “ready” to wean?
If you find yourself worrying about the “right” time and way to wean your child, that makes sense. But do you know how to ensure that all of the feelings that come up for yourself and for your child during this transition, will be held in a way that strengthens their sense of self and trust in the relationship with you? In a way that prepares them to turn towards themselves with care, and opens their heart to receiving support from others when life gets hard in the future?
Reclaiming your choice: and parenting from your center
The more we know and remember our center, the less control our emotional states have over us. This is how we learn to parent ourselves from that wise and loving center. To bring healing and change to the parts of us that cry out to us through states of unease, tension, anxiety, deep sadness, anger, rage. And from this same solid center, to receive and really soak in the moments of ease, happiness, joy, contentment, and enthusiasm.
Your child should never feel alone with scary news, and neither should you
So many of us had to go it alone
