2 Pancakes of Wisdom Maureen O 'Neill

Season 1 finale is about knowing when to let go. Sometimes you are holding on so tightly, you don’t even realize it’s time to let go. Suddenly you realize it’s time. It’s time to come back to you.

Hang onto your hats because we’re about to go on adventure! I’ve written a detailed account of our 6 hour flight home to CA and I am bringing you along for the ride. This is a sneak peek into part one of the story which is making its way into my book. What do you think of my voice over skills? My mom says I have a real future in it, so you know it’s got to be true, right? Lol

And this story you’ll hear seems like planning ahead for vacations and changing tactics when things go wrong, determination, excepting help from strangers or setting boundaries with unhelpful strangers. Above all staying calm in a crisis. Sounds like things that could be useful for you? Join me! Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Today in this quickie episode we are veering off our normal parenting topics and sharing a very valuable tool I’ve used to manage my bipolar disorder: a good old fashioned letter. This is a great tool for someone with bipolar, depression, anxiety or anyone who knows that feeling doubt that comes up after you are starting a new creative project. So basically, this is a great episode if you are a human! I am going to be digging into some of the questions you’ve sent me about living with bipolar bipolar disorder in upcoming episodes. Send me questions or comments on Instagram and FB @2pancakesofwisdom or good old fashioned email maureencoaching@gmail.com. Take care of yourself and each other 💝.

Today is my birthday! I am giving myself the gift of not writing a real description hahaha! I will probably write a real one very soon, but I want to send this baby out into the world. ✈️. As usual I talk about what Charlotte is doing to drive me crazy and how I manage to resist resentment. The episode Easter eggs include: speech therapy 3rd person tips, a mummified object in a gas station museum, and a cow sound effect. Have fun! Send me a message on Instagram or Facebook @2pancakesodwisdom if you find an Easter egg 😉

After 10 long months in Rhode Island, we finally returned to our home in California. And while it was nice to be home again, it didn’t feel as much like home as I thought it would! I had changed so much in the last year that my home needed to reflect that. Little things like moving my shoe rack to the hall to create a little “closet recording studio” have big meaning.

A challenge we tackled with Charlotte this week was going to the dentist. Things like this are always a lesson in letting go of control and just trying our best. I surprised myself by my mama bear coming out. In the end we were all proud of ourselves.

Today I’ll share with you the moving story of Charlotte’s womb song “Charlotte,O Charlotte” I’ll even sing you the song along with a quick reprise when Charlotte makes a surprise appearance in my closet! This is a very special story and I’m delighted to have a way to share it with you today.

The “traveling closet” brings us to a closet at my aunt’s house where I took a night off from the family. I needed time to decompress after many days with my extrovert husband. I took the opportunity to record in their closet! Thanks Julie, I hope you didn’t mind! I put everything back the way it was I swear :).
