In this enlightening episode of the Thriving Parenting Podcast, I invited Steph Beers, a fellow motherhood coach, to explore the complex emotions that often accompany motherhood, particularly anger.

We dive deep into understanding anger as a secondary emotion, commonly masking feelings like hurt, guilt, and overwhelm. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the importance of self-awareness and emotional regulation in managing these intense feelings.

Steph shares practical strategies, including the benefits of shadow work, setting healthy boundaries, and involving self-care practices like exercise and seeking help. We also address common parenting challenges, such as balancing self-care with parenting responsibilities and overcoming societal expectations that contribute to mum guilt.

The episode highlights the critical role of communication and the positive impact of modeling emotional intelligence for children. We encouraged our Thriving Parents to adopt respectful parenting practices and to seek support when needed, ultimately aiming to create a more sustainable and joyous parenting experience.
