Let’s get real for a sec.
What do you do when your brain is hyperfocused on your child’s appearance- and not in the “she’s so cute I could cry” kind of way?
In this episode, I respond to a mom who’s caught in an anxiety spiral about her daughter’s facial features after surgery. Despite reassurance from doctors and her partner, her brain keeps ruminating over every detail and whispering unhelpful things like:
👉 What if people treat her differently?
👉 What if she’s not pretty?👉 What kind of mom even thinks this way?!
Oof. If you’ve ever had a thought that made you feel like a “bad mom” (welcome to the club, by the way), this episode is for you.
We unpack:
The difference between being shallow and being human
How to stop trying to bubble-wrap your child from the hard parts of life
What to teach and model instead so she knows how to support herself through it all
