Show Notes

In my practice I see a lot of resistance and discomfort around having natural mixed feelings towards partners, family members, and especially children. Shoving feelings below the surface ends up causing a lot of distress in Moms and in relationship dynamics. 

In this episode I'll:

  • normalize the experience of mixed feelings
  • share specific examples to give a clear picture of how supressing feelings hurts relationships &
  • will offer 3 concrete tips to start finding relief in yourself & relationships by accepting your mixed feelings

At a time when you are already dealing with a huge adjustment & meeting so many demands, you don't need any more angst from rejecting your human experience.
