Description

Do you believe you can feel positive emotions like joy, aliveness, inspired and still be a mom?
Well there are cultural beliefs about motherhood that will definitely rob you of feeling good like...
•  Our teens should be perfect, because, naturally, our parenting is, too, or it should at least look or sound or seem that way.
•  Parenting causes perpetual exhaustion, dirty hair days, bad hair days, body confidence issues, and endless feelings of overwhelm. It also creates the need for nonstop caffeine and, of course, “wine o’clock.”
•  Parenting is hard, and if you don’t complain about it or feel miserable, exhausted, and stressed out most of the time, you’re not one of the “good” moms.
•  Its selfish to take care of myself I need to sacrifice everything for my family
