YME Episode 15 - Is Your Partner Your Safe Place? And What to Do If They're Not.

This episode is for any mom who is grateful for her supportive partner, and also for any mom who wishes she had more support.

Shawna and Cara open up about their own experiences with "dad drama" and discuss how having a partner who is a true safe place can heal old wounds and shape your identity in motherhood.

They talk about the importance of friendships, the different kinds of support, and what to do when your relationship feels rocky.

TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):

Having a supportive partner can be a healing experience, especially if you had a challenging relationship with your own father.
It's normal to feel a mix of gratitude and sadness when you watch your child with a wonderful parent you never had.
If your partner isn't your safe place, it’s crucial to build other support systems and openly ask for help.
Support doesn't just mean fixing problems; sometimes, it means holding space for someone to fall apart.
Focusing on your own growth is the most powerful way to improve a relationship.

Who is your safe place, and how can you be a safe place for someone else this week?

Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this.
