All.these.feelings. So.many.feelings. Every time I am tempted to run far, far away from them (either from myself or my children or both), I try to remind myself that they need to pass through. If I keep running from them, they will only amplify and stick… https://t.co/ZJaq8FLLIb

We are all carrying far more in our backpacks than we're used to right now. We are being called - literally and figuratively - to pause, take notice, to be. Yes, I know we all have daily responsibilities and obligations that are non-negotiable. Other tha… https://t.co/BQap0Znw37

So the thing about kids is that they are experts at picking up on the energy of their parents. You can be saying all the right things to them right now, but if you're not carving out time during the day to protect your own energy they will detect that di… https://t.co/lCohc2BK36

Ladies. I don't care how much time you spent with your children prior to this pandemic - you are now spending MORE time with them. It's okay to crave alone time. It's normal. It's necessary. Heat up that coffee. Lock the door. Turn on their screens. Your… https://t.co/5XKoE8RbEn

Of all the times in the world to start being hard on yourself, this is not one of them. This is the time for radical grace for yourself, your family, your people.
Everyone processes crises like these differently and every single one of your feelings and… https://t.co/tRo9sEe2zb

Ok, so all of a sudden we have (collectively) found ourselves home with our children, perhaps WAY more than we're used to being with them and I thought that warranted a quick convo about setting boundaries with our kids.
What that looks like for me:

So excited to share my new website with you today! Check it out if you'd like to learn more about my mission to help mothers look within to understand their own patterns and belief systems, and how these childhood wounds can spill over into how we parent… https://t.co/xpq6z9pYhg

Raise your hand if you are terrified of joy. 🖐

Brene Brown talks often about how one of the most vulnerable feelings in the world is joy.

That feeling of terror when everything is going well, we're happy, we're healthy and we're simultaneously wait… https://t.co/y2YTTMQ0Oy

Isn't this the truth?

Yes, of course fear of certain things like bears and fire and running out of coffee are all there to help keep us alive.

But the fears that are inviting us to heal are meant to be confronted head on.

Parenting triggers are a perf… https://t.co/p8rU4JxEOu

Raise your hand if you can't sit still. Raise your other hand if you currently do or used to see that as a badge of honor? I know I did.
Now I know I was just using that busyness and finding more (meaningless) things to do because I didn't know how to … https://t.co/gd5efD8svK

At the end of the day when you're laying in bed, about to doze off to sleep I wonder what you're thinking about.
Is the aggressive to-do list that you started off the day with only half complete? Are there dishes still lying out on the kitchen counter? … https://t.co/tzOtQcIijU

Empathy. Compassion. Permission to mess up. Forgiveness. Unconditional love. What else can you think of on this list of things that you deserve to give both yourself and your child?

One thing about parenting is that it forces you to reckon with hypocrisy head-on. Kids can smell from a mile away when you're asking them to do something that you're not willing to do.
Want them to be courageous? How are we courageous in our own lives? … https://t.co/O2OXunl9n5

[Alively @alivelybox]

This is what it's all about. How do we grow from these experiences?

Can you think of anything worthy of having where some level of discomfort doesn't precede it? (no, ice cream doesn't count). ;) Growth, transformation, evolution: they are products of tension or discomfort, especially when it comes to becoming a more con… https://t.co/uh9gy1CP3B

My husband and I had an interesting conversation at dinner last night about learning to trust ourselves more. We both confessed that many areas of our lives where our desires are still unfulfilled are an outcome of not trusting our own instincts, desires… https://t.co/cBEidhfF2g

I would love to know: what have your kids taught you lately? (pictured: my fearless daughter, 4, and my son, 9, trailing behind her)
