Friends! I just wrapped my interview with doctor of education and parenting coach Dr. Gertrude Lyons, and it was transformative.

When I first planned on talking about maternal mental health and mom rage, I thought we’d center the discussion on tactics to mitigate things happening around or outside of us; instead, what we all got with the amazing Gertrude was a way of parenting that has us looking inward first.

That’s not to say this interview isn’t packed full of takeaways on how to check our mom rage at the door; how to communicate better with our kids; how to deal with postpartum mood issues and more… because it is!

But it also turned into a conversation about some of the emotional work we can do inside ourselves to make our mothering journeys a little easier.

• Tactics to take us out of “reaction mode”

• How to have conversations with your kids to really know what they’re thinking

• Dealing with postpartum anxiety
