    #81: When You're Conflicted About Whether or Not to Grow Your Family

    Today is a solo episode about the decision to grow your family -- or not. I was recently cleaning out the boys' closets and posted a question box on my stories asking people if they felt sad putting away old clothes, knowing you are done having kids, OR if you're conflicted about what to do. The response was overwhelming. I heard from SO many of you that you also struggled with the decision to be done (and I know for many it is NOT a choice -- loss, infertility, divorce, illness, etc.) Truly, this is a complicated topic for everyone. I shared some of my vulnerable thoughts and feelings around this topic as someone with a medically complex child as their second and last, and how that has impacted me emotionally in a way I didn't expect.  I hope this resonates with some of you and helps you feel less alone if you're struggling with these feelings, too!

    #77: The "Happiness Trap" with Licensed Therapists from The Counseling Co.

    This episode with the licensed therapists from The Counseling Co. is all about the "happiness trap" -- AKA, how our beliefs around happiness can get in the way of our expectations and also… the difference between fulfillment and happiness. Are YOU truly happy in your life? Does being content mean you've "settled"?  This is a loaded topic that applies to all of us! I hope you find value in this conversation!  What we discussed:  Happiness vs. fulfillment vs. contentment Does being content mean you’re “settling” for less in life How to stop striving for perfection / shifting expectations of what happiness “should” look like Acceptance is a practice - not a destination Tips if you’re struggling with comparison, especially on social media Comparative suffering – “well, this isn’t a big deal, but…” “someone else is going through something harder…” When reality doesn’t meet expectations in marriage   What about when you’re happy with your life BUT it feels overly full / busy / overwhelming The power of saying NO and checking in with your values Tips for moms struggling with their identity in motherhoodHow to find happiness when you’re navigating a new normal // major life change (i.e. having a medically complex child, becoming a caregiver for an aging parent, etc.) How to connect with The Counseling Co:  Find them on Instagram @thecounselingcoVisit their website for services & resources: https://www.thecounselingco.com/Affiliate Links/Sponsors:  Shop Clean Simple Eats Black Friday sale using my affiliate code WELLNESSFORTHEWIN -- shop here Shop Harper Wilde Black Friday sale using my affiliate link here Get 20% off the Expecting and Empowered mobile app (annual subscription) through the end of November 2024 with my affiliate code WELLNESSFORTHEWIN - sign up here Thank you for listening and happy Thanksgiving!  Follow me on IG at @wellnessforthewin and @wellnessforthewinpod Check out my blog for healthy recipes & wellness tips!
