Parenting isn’t black and white - but most of us were taught to believe it is. We think we have to pick a side: calm or chaotic, grateful or overwhelmed, loving motherhood or struggling through it. This “either/or” thinking is a lie - and it’s quietly sabotaging our ability to be present, connected, and compassionate parents.In this episode of The Parenting Lab, I share why contradictory feelings aren’t a flaw to fix, but a gift to embrace. We’ll talk about the difference between true opposites and emotional contradictions (including a story from my own preschool classroom), why our nervous systems are built for nuance, and how living in the “AND” space can transform the way you show up for your kids - and yourself.If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because you feel joy and resentment, love and frustration, or pride and fear all at once… this conversation will set you free.What you’ll learn in this episode:The dangerous myth of “either/or” thinking in parentingHow to teach kids the difference between opposites and contradictionsWhy contradictory feelings can coexist — and make you a stronger parentFour simple ways to practice “living in the AND” every day♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney For free resources, online courses, or to join the mailing list, please visit theparentinglab.orgFollow on Instagram @TheParentingLabPodcastEmail Brittney: [email protected]
