Gotta get the baby up- will fill in ep description later <3

Today we’re talking about different ways to respond to and get through the extreme toddler act outs that can sometimes make it seem like our kid is straight up possessed. I also share a mini epiphany I had when my daughter rediscover a super annoying toy in the hopes that it might help other parents not get stuck in a chaotic feedback loop. Thanks for being here!

Hey Everyone! I somehow stumbled my through 20 minutes of talking and I’m hopeful that at least 20% of what I say here is coherent and maybe even a little bit helpful. Will try to get a better camera angle next time. Whatever. You gotta start somewhere and with new things that are outside of our comfort zone, that somewhere is usually at the bottom, doing the bare minimum to get by, and that’s totally fine and normal and the only way to build strength in that new activity and area of our brains, bodies and lives. Let this bad episode inspire you to try something new or get back into something you once loved. It’s not gonna be perfect outta the gate, but an imperfect start is better than never starting in the first place. Rediscover your goals and passions and give yourself 10 minutes a day to indulge in those feel-good activities and dose your ego with a healthy shot of dopamine for the day.

Impromptu recording session using my the microphone in my AirPods and kind of whispering most of the time because my family is asleep and our house is unbelievably echoey. Full video on YouTube. I think the audio there is better, but you will have to stare at my bloodshot eyes and the swollen, puffy wrinkle bags beneath them, so maybe the crackly phone audio is the way to go. Pretend it’s a really, really, really long voicemail. Thanks for listening xx
