Hello my friends!
Every week I'm surprised by what comes out of the show. This conversation with Tamara Grantham made me remember my early days as a mom and how I needed something more, something for me, in order to be the best mom I could be to my boys. Many women, and men, find themselves in similar situations and there can sometimes be the sense of guilt, like they should just magically be this other-centered being who serves and gives all to their children.
This chat made me think how parenting is very much like our safety instructions on a plane. When air pressure changes, the masks can drop from the ceiling. If you don't put your own mask on first, choosing to serve your child first, you might find you're unable to save yourself. Then where would your child be?
Kinda dramatic, but save yourself first, folks! That's the best thing you can do for your children.
We talked about other things, too, of course! Check it out and see for yourself. Then check out Tamara's books!
Also, I'd love to hear your opinion on parenting and writing. What was your experience? Was it as "life-saving" for you as it was to both Tamara and I?
Oh! And don't forget to like and subscribe!
Ali :)
