#16: I beg you to stop "just surviving" in 2024
Manage episode 407296828 series 3562178
People always say they're "just surviving" parenthood. But think about it, how sad is that? Do you really want to "just survive" 10-20% of your life? Surviving is about getting the basics: food, water, love, connection etc., but thriving is about being present enough to enjoy it.
This podcast is more of a rant and a battle cry than a "how-to", because your how-to will be different to mine. I share how I'm preparing for the birth of our second child and what I'm doing differently after my first-time parent experience of postpartum rage and depression. There are 3 things I'm certain of:
- Self-sacrifice is not the answer
- Being on auto-pilot 24/7 is not the answer
- Abandoning yourself and your identity is not the key to being a great parent
