Parenting Transitions
10/09/24 • 26 min
Parenting is a journey filled with transitions. From being a superhero in your child's life to becoming the "villain" in their teenage years, to navigating the quieter years of being an empty nester, the changes can feel overwhelming. It's a constant evolution that brings both grief and joy. How do we manage the shift from being the central figure in our children's lives to stepping back and allowing them to grow independently?
On this episode of Building Resilience, we'll explore the many stages of parenting and how they impact our nervous system. I discuss the transition from being a caregiver to a consultant as our children grow, and the emotional challenges that come with each phase. You'll learn how to manage these transitions with grace and self-compassion, understand the impact on your nervous system, and discover practical tools to help us visualize and make sense of our ever-evolving roles as parents.

Bitter or Better?
When we face adversity, we are often faced with the choice of how we want to respond to those challenges. Will they make us bitter, or will they help us become better? It's a choice we all face, and one that can significantly shape the direction of our lives.
On this episode of Building Resilience, is the cliché of becoming "bitter or better" really true? I'll share how adversity can either weigh us down, leaving us stuck in bitterness, or become a stepping stone toward growth and resilience. We'll also talk about some tools like small actions and practicing self-compassion to help you shift from bitter to better.

Expectations
Expectations shape how we experience the world---but they can also be a trap, leading to stress and suffering when reality doesn't match our hopes. So, how do we manage them in a way that helps rather than hinders us?
On this episode of Building Resilience, we'll talk about the double-edged nature of expectations. You'll hear why expectations are essential for setting goals and boundaries, and how they can even build excitement for future events, helping us get even more enjoyment out of them.
