  • Feel Your Feelings
    Sep 11 2023

    In this episode of The Optimized Mom Podcast, I chat about my own tendency to:

    • try to suppress my feelings (especially any "negative" ones)
    • to apologize for showing emotion around others
    • to ruminate on certain emotion-provoking situations (which makes feelings last longer than they need to)
    • to try to squash emotional outbursts in my kids

    I'll discuss some strategies I'm using to try to handle my emotions (and those of my kids) a little more effectively.
