Hey Mama!!
Do you ever feel like you are in information overload?
Like there are so many people thoughts and opinions coming at you?
Last week’s podcast episode about 9 Things we need to UNLEARN to be a Happy Mom (which you can watch below):
If I’m being honest… #6 is still really challenging for me.
This week I had a HUGE ah-ha moment during a coaching session.
One of my clients has been struggling with yelling at her child.
It feels like the ONLY way the kid listens (don’t we all feel like this at some point?!).
As she described her response, I remembered something that was CRUCIAL in my Rage-Free Journey.
When our child does something and we feel triggered….. take a step back.
I mean take a LITERAL step backwards.
It will help you realize that you need to step out of the situation, so you can access logic.
From here, you can make a decision that will help you and your child to calm down.
So, next time your child’s behavior feels triggering….. take a step back!
Journaling Prompt for this Week:
- What behaviors trigger you? What is your knee-jerk response when this happens?
If you are needing more encouragement, you can read past emails here! I hope you enjoy!

Anyhow, I hope this email has encouraged you…. and Happy Parenting!
