Summary

In this episode, I share a particularly tough Monday where a series of small, frustrating events made me feel overwhelmed and ready to run away. From toddlers making messes to kids having meltdowns, I experienced it all. I then had a moment of clarity that helped me find peace in the chaos – realizing 'this is the job.' It's about accepting the responsibilities and challenges that come with being a parent and leaning into them with a positive mindset. I hope my story and the lessons I've learned inspire you to embrace your own challenges with resilience and dedication.
