My Experience With Mom Frustration
I'm not here to brag about my mommy slip ups with frustration, by any means. Let alone act like I got my ducks in order 24/7, even while I sleep. Like any other mom, I have my share of mistakes and losing my shit is one of them.
Yes, unfortunately, behind those big blue eyes and big smile (me, not the kid hahaha) is a mom who has cussed at her toddler and felt my blood boil with irritation. Mainly because I would try all I could think of to help him out, just for none of it to work and him continue on whining.
Talk about frustrating. The difference between me, and other moms who gave in or give into blowing up is this:
I believed there was help, I believed there was more behind this than simply feeling frustrated with myself. I believed I could most definitely change this around because I wanted to, for my sake and my sons.
As a result, I believe the same can be true for you if you let it.
Why I Created
"Pull Yourself Together Mama"
Mini Course
As a kid I grew up with a family that used yelling to get what we wanted from others, sometimes it would get so out of hand, it would scare me.
Early on I knew this is not what I wanted for my future children. Thankfully I ended up living with another family, as their nanny, who taught me other forms of communicating.
I believe they saved me from losing my mind and experiencing a life I felt would send me to the crazy house. As the years passed learning how to become an effective, and calmer communicator. Which helped me immensely create healthy lasting relationships with friends and my husband. No sooner did I become a mother and found old habits creeping back. When my son (being a toddler) would wine, fuss, and refuse to nap, while I was trying to work, or do something for myself, I would just about lose my shit. Out came the swear words and in came the guilt and shame.
I wasn't about to let this slide under my radar though, so I nipped that in the butt real fast. I still experienced my share of mess ups, but I already learned enough about how ineffective it is to beat yourself up.
When I go through something difficult and challenging in motherhood, such as losing my shit, I always assume that another mother somewhere is going through the same thing.
Know this, being a Life Coach, it's in embedded in my DNA to help any way that I can. So I reflected on the techniques I used that helped me keep from losing my shit, in the moment, and simplified it enough so you can take it all in, remember and practice it yourself. I made sure it was effective by checking in with scientific studies. I listened to what others were suggesting, created my own version that I believe is much simpler, and easy to remember, especially in the heat of the moment.
So if you're anything like this before taking the course...

Then this course is perfect for you.
It's a mini course, which means short videos you can listen to while you brush your teeth or sip your coffee, learn new techniques you can start applying right away, and take your time doing it.
I made sure to focus on what you can do in-the-moment when you're feeling yourself about to lose control. We will touch a little on "WHY" we get frustrated and what you can do about that in this course.
Ultimately, I'll be leaving room to focus on "How to avoid frustration" in another, more extensive course coming soon. This way, you can have the tools you need right away to work through your feelings and do what you desire most, setting a healthy example for your toddler and feeling at peace within yourself knowing you remained in control so you can go about your day with hardly missing a beat.
Don't wait till you feel ready, if you struggle with this at all, in big ways or small, then doing this now is going to make the biggest life changing experience than what waiting till later will do. You deserve to get all the help you desire so you can live your life in full respect and content with your feelings which ultimately brings about greater health overall for yourself and your toddler.
