It never fails: you make plans, and unexpected obstacles wreck them. But what if that’s LIFE? How can you stop making challenges mean anything is wrong and start embracing the truth that life is happening for (not to) you?

In this episode, I open up about the mind drama I recently had over a huge unforeseen dilemma. I not only normalize the default negative response your brain offers you in those moments, but guide you through three key things to remember and an overarching skill to develop whenever life “lifes”.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The unpredicted challenge that recently popped up for me
• Why it’s so hard to manage your mind in the midst of stress and perceived threat
• Three key steps to actually doing so
• How to avoid spiraling out of control and making hard times mean more than they actually do
• The number one life skill every mom needs to develop in the midst of uncertainty

How do you know if you're winning or losing at parenting? As a mom, you want to get it RIGHT: to know you're doing a good job, that all the hardship and self-sacrifice you're enduring is paying off. The stakes feel so high—maybe higher than any other area of your life—because this is your kids we're talking about! Getting it “wrong” can have big implications for their future life.

In this episode, I offer my definition of what it really means to be winning at parenting, sharing three of my own recent wins and two very painful “losses” as examples.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why you can’t judge your success as a mother by external factors like your kids’ behavior, performance, or happiness…let alone anyone else’s opinion
• What “winning” at parenting actually looks (and feels) like
• How unbelievably HARD it is to parent in a winning way when it’s the complete opposite of how your parents parented you
• Why it’s so important to keep a record of your parenting wins
• What your parenting “losses” have the opportunity to teach you
