EP20: SET YOURSELF FREE FROM THE WEIGHT OF YOUR CHILDREN'S CHOICES
Summary In this conversation, I discuss the emotional burdens that mothers carry due to their children's choices, emphasizing the importance of shedding these burdens to achieve personal freedom and peace. I highlight some of the struggles of parenting, particularly in the face of addiction and legal troubles, rebellion, and advocate for authenticity and setting boundaries as essential steps for mothers to protect their mental health. The conversation encourages mothers to learn to let go, stop trying to control the situations their children put themselves in, seek support, be honest about their feelings, and prioritize their well-being while allowing their children to face the consequences of their actions. Takeaways We need to let go of the weight of our children's choices. Rescuing our kids often stems from our own pride. Watching a child struggle is gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Shame thrives in silence; sharing our struggles is powerful. Authenticity brings freedom and connection. Allowing children to face consequences is crucial for their growth. Setting boundaries is an act of love for both parent and child. You cannot pour from an empty cup; prioritize your well-being. Emotional weight can be just as burdensome as physical weight. Choosing peace is essential for a fulfilling life.

EP18: Black Women OPT-OUT! We're Not Saving Anyone Else
Join me as I discuss the emotional and psychological toll on Black women following the recent election results and how we need to Opt-Out of saving everyone else and heal from savior syndrome. We need to work hard at unraveling the encoding in our DNA that has made us the nurturers of others, learn to prioritize self-care, our mental well-being, and healing over the societal expectation to be saviors. The conversation explores the historical context of Black women's roles as caregivers and nurturers, the burden of resilience, and the importance of setting boundaries to protect mental health.  Chapters 00:00 Opting Out of the Savior Role 10:06 The Burden of Strength and Resilience 19:45 Setting Boundaries and Prioritizing Self-Care  Takeaways We are opting out of being the savior. Black women are often expected to be strong and resilient, which dismisses their struggles. The recent election results have led to feelings of hopelessness among Black women. Self-care is not just about pampering; it's about true emotional and mental well-being. Black women are dying at alarming rates due to stress and neglect of self-care. Setting boundaries is essential for mental health and well-being. The historical context of Black women's roles impacts their current mental health. It's important to recognize who supports us in our lives. We need to stop making excuses for those who don't show up for us. Prioritizing ourselves is not selfish; it's necessary.  KEEP UP WITH MUM'S TRUE TEA: WEBSITE: MumsTrueTea.com INSTAGRAM: @MumsTrueTea FACEBOOK: @MumsTrueTea TikTok: @MumsTrueTeaPodcast  THANK YOU SOÂ
