Feel Your Feelings The Optimized Mom

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.
