Takeaways:

I had so much resistance to wanting to be here.

I didn't want to do all the hardships of motherhood.

I'd rather solve them, get to the root of it.

Emotions are just information about something important.

It usually only takes like 15 minutes to process.

Communication is so key in our relationships.

Emotions are not bad. They're just information.

Start looking inward, give yourself some time.

Have your pity party and then lean into gratitude.

You're awesome. Cheering you on.
