It's just a question of optimizing within our own unique context so we can show up fully in a way that we're proud of, such that we can respond to challenges as opposed to react to them.
Well, as I have gotten older and as my kids get older, I definitely do feel there are more moms that come who have older kids.
And I will say the moms with younger ones tend to come to me probably more about their own impatience and reactivity, their frustrations, the ways that it's hard for them to be patient, I would just say, you know, with their kids.
I think a lot of moms come thinking they need to be doing something a certain way, and they don't feel like they're being a good enough mom.

'Cause it, it has to happen sort of in the now, because I think that deeper exploration takes time, right? And it takes time to shift gears and show up differently.
differently.Well, yeah, I mean, I think there are kind of-- there are three major components to the healing journey of our emotional triggers.
