As I am tipping this email I am feeling sooo FRUSTRATED!
I have been stuck at home with my son battling fever (poor thing) for 3 nights and 2 long days and my work is pilling up (don’t even mention the kitchen or laundries piles!)
I am NOT frustrated because he is sick (a part of me is deeply grateful that I get to be here for him when he needs me to)
I am frustrated because I looove my work!
And I am sharing this with you not to bore you with my life but because I think it’s important to say out loud how we feel sometimes as mothers.
We have different emotions pulling us in all directions. And it’s ok!
I want to normalize what is still taboo for a mom: expressing her frustration or even anger because of her kids.
How often do we honestly say that they drives us crazy?
Feeling this is SO normal and healthy. Yet many will deny these emotions and feel ashamed of them.
This is how I use to feel: frustrated AND I would make myself feel even worse for it.
Sounds familiar?
Here’s the thing with navigating our emotions:
When you stop denying them, repressing them, and you actually give them permission to come through, you will come out of it richer.
That’s right you start to use your emotions: guilt, shame, sadness, anger, joy, bliss… and see them as gifts, you transform them into fuel for your aliveness.
That is what Tantra has to teach us about emotions. That’s how I completely shifted how I deal with my frustration!
I am still feeling it, hell yes!
Except that now I’m riding with it, yeehaw!
So today on the podcast, I invited my friend Janie Petersen, aka the Tantra Mama who is on a mission to bring more pleasure to parents while raising empowered kids. And we chatted about:
Tantra & parenting (yes, those two have more in common than you’d think)
How to own all of our emotions and see them as treasures (or diamonds in the mud)
How to make your kids feel really heard and seen in their own range of emotions
And in bonus, I am sharing 1 simple practice for you to start doing TODAY.
If you feel challenged by your emotions in general or one in particular, and you want to help your children navigate theirs with ease, you definitely want to listen to what we are sharing in this episode!

Let me know what is your biggest take away!
