Today's episode, it's all about allowing your loved ones to allow their emotions. Yes, even the negative ones! It's so important to understand that even our family or close loved ones will have to experience emotional pain. As women that are wired to not talk or share emotions and or are naturally nurturers we sometimes unintentionally offer our loved ones to avoid negative emotions or simply distract them from it. I discuss the ways we typically try to help them feel better (at least that's what we think) and offer what you should do instead. I pray this episode blesses you and if you'd like to take this a step further and take care of your mental health schedule a free consultation session with me.  We will uncover what you need help with and make a plan on what you want to invest your time and focus on.   Next Steps:Schedule Consult Call: https://wendiwray.com/consultCheck out military mental health resources:Military and Family Life CounselingMilitary OneSourceOperation We Are HereVeterans Crisis LineListen to Related Episodes:Episode 146:  MVP: 3 simple steps to set priorities as an overwhelmed military mama!Episode: 135: Being okay with NOT feeling okay!
