This is me trying to get a picture with my young kids a few years ago.  

Now, as teens, it's hard to get them to take a picture with me at all!    

​

I wish the mom in this picture had the perspective, mindset, tools, and support that I do now.  I read all the parenting books, talked endlessly about parenting to other moms, asked for help from teachers and experts.  I searched high and low for someone who could tell me how to raise these children!  Someone who could tell me exactly what to do and what not to do.  I tried so many methods.  I desperately wanted to do this parenting thing right. I was anxious, irritable, and unsatisfied and I didn't even realize it. 

​

Turns out the answers lie within and not in all the books or with the experts.  I had to look within me, take care of me, listen to me, talk to me.

​

This realization came after much inner work.  Identifying my triggers,  rewriting old stories that no longer serve me, setting healthy boundaries, and figuring out what self-care I need to be my best are just a few things that directly helped me to be a happier parent.  It's not all sunshine and roses now but I know that I can handle whatever this parenting gig throws at me.
