Episode 180: Episode 180 - Mom-Guilt and the Inner-Critic

WHEN OUR INNER-CRITIC BOSSES US AROUND Some of us have an inner-critic. It harasses us all day long with thoughts such as – It’s your fault your kids act the way they do. If you would only (fill in the blank) then your kids would behave. If you were a better parent, everything would be better. If you weren’t parenting from your past, your kids wouldn’t struggle. You’ll never be a great parent. If this is you, I get it. I have an inner critic and it tried to boss me around. The Bible says we are supposed to take every thought captive. When my inner-critic is sending out thoughts, I need a giant lasso to grab them all. It’s not one thought. It’s a barrage of them. So, how do we handle it? And here’s a note, if you think when your kids are grown, the inner-critic quiets down, think again. There are plenty of “If you had only…” thoughts. Grab a coffee and join me as I share two approaches to combat the inner-critic and how to combat Mom-Guilt!
