Progress is not linear. Some days I knock this parenting and living gig out of the park: I have an abundance of patience, remember to take care of my needs too, say all the right things to help my kids process their big feelings, model kinder and gentler responses, and have fun.
Other days, I cannot free myself from feeling overwhelmed, my parenting tools and scripts escape me in the heat of the moment, and I cannot seem to do or say anything right.
Afterward, I try to figure out what lessons I've learned, why my kids were having a hard time, and how I can reset my frame of mind and fill up my own emotional cup so I can be more available for them. That self-reflection is still progress, even though it’s not linear.
Here I share my daily struggles, victories, reflections, and more. Rather than long, thought out articles, this space is more like a journal as I keep moving forward.
