145. You aren’t alone mama, I go through that too

I knew I had to share this episode as I heard more and more coaching clients tell me how much they appreciated hearing me say that I don't always enjoy my kids, that I was a mom martyr, that pregnancy was hard.  I keep hearing how much it matters to hear that they aren't alone in these struggles of motherhood.  In this episode I am talking about: * Feeling like you aren't 'normal' * Welcoming the resistance you might feel to the idea that you aren't alone * What I have seen in coaching groups of women and moms * The struggles I have in my own home, maybe you have them too  * Sibling rivalry * Having compassion for ourselves allows us to have it for others * Being honest about our struggles * Allowing people in, and offering support to others Stop by the Facebook community group or send me a message through Instagram.                View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by kristen bell (@kristenanniebell)     The list of links you might like/mentioned in this post: Permission to grieve (having a parent with dementia) Dear friend, you are not alone My C-Section and the feelings I was ashamed to admit I had The Baby That Always Cried (Our Story With Esophagitis) A Mom No Matter What (For the mom who had a hard labour and delivery) God's grace in difficult parenting  Marriage posts * When they tell me I'm lucky to have him * 12 ways to heal and strengthen your marriage Mom martyr (making motherhood harder than it needs to be) When I realized I didn't enjoy my kids
