We all imagine how we want to be as a mom, but our angry reactions to the day-to-day stressors of motherhood just aren't matching with that picture in our minds.
We start each day promising ourselves we're going to be patient and positive. We tell ourselves we will manage messes, moderate meltdowns, and break up sibling bickering sessions with patience and grace.
But when we find ourselves kindly and calmly repeating simple requests a hundred times, only to be ignored or receive pushback, we lose it.
That idea of who we want to be completely disappears and angry mommy takes over.
After yelling, demanding, threatening and bribing is over, we see our hurting child with fear all over their face.
Then the guilt and shame set in.
Sigh.
It is so painful to repeat this cycle again and again and not know how to get out of it.
The good news is that breaking the cycle is absolutely possible!
You are not the only one who struggles, and you can join the many moms who have gone before you and made the changes that allowed them to reduce their anger and really enjoy their time with their children (including me!).
I look forward to walking alongside you as you evolve into an even better version of who you already are!
