Better Than Happy

We talk about "mommy guilt" like it's just something that comes with the role of being a mom. But it's not. It's not necessary and it's not helpful. It doesn't allow inspiration to find you. It keeps you blocked and frustrated and disconnected. Today I break down why it's a prevalent problem and help you think about it differently. The post Ep 46.

Life Is a Mastermind, Not a Test appeared first on Jody M...

Emotions can be like a pebble dropped in the water and there is a ripple effect. Sometimes in life we need to feel sad or disappointed or bad in some way. But many times we layer additional negative emotions to them that keep us stuck. Anger, resistance, worry and guilt are secondary emotions that we invite when we don't pay attention. Today I'll talk to you about this cycle and how to stop gettin...

Fearing there is a wrong choice keeps us from taking much of the action we want to take in our lives and misleads us into believing that our happiness is dependent on making the right choice.
