Liz this is such a beautiful invitation to do the work we can to be whole and well, and that its possible. I do think, as someone on that journey, it can be difficult to be in spaces that are repeatedly triggering. They can be very revealing of our inner world but also quite exhausting. This has so many helpful generous pointers I will return to
Aw, that’s kind. And yes, I agree about the exhaustion!! Boundaries became important to me as tried to make sense of my interior world. Makes me think a boundary post could be helpful?
Liz! I love this! (haha of course I do, obviously). I also love your therapist. Thank you for being so real about your struggles. I resonate a lot (and still recall your empathy you offered in Denver at WFYL about how hard these early years of childrearing feel!). I'm talking about mental health/ postpartum in my post tomorrow... it's nice to know you're out here doing it too!

Yes a boundary post would be so helpful. It's a wild world being an adult and trying to be generous loving and respectful of our human limits!

I’m so grateful we can partner in this work of telling the truth about having kids in our home, Christine. ❤️ it’s NOT simple!!! Hugs.
