In this episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the challenges faced by working mothers and the importance of self-care. She metaphorically compares mothers to generals leading their armies, emphasizing the need for mothers to protect themselves with an "armor" built from their life experiences. Dr. Dunni discusses the significance of recognizing and addressing internal struggles, encouraging mothers to see, ask, feel, and express deep love for themselves to determine if they are safe to remove their armor and prioritize their well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Mothers are like generals leading their army of children, facing significant responsibilities and stress in balancing work and home life.

• Mothers have built up emotional armor over the years from various experiences, both positive and negative, to protect themselves and survive.

• Dr. Dunni outlines four steps for mothers to assess their emotional well-being: see yourself, ask yourself, truly feel, and express deep love.

• Expressing deep love for oneself leads to compassion and kindness, giving permission to take off the emotional armor and prioritize self-care.

• It is essential for mothers to share and spread the message of self-care and well-being with other mothers to create a supportive community.

BEST MOMENTS

"Many times we as mothers are like soldiers. We are the generals that are leading our army."

"Our armor has been built on years of hurt, of pain, of shame, failure, successes, victories, celebrations, defeats."

"It's okay for us to take that armor off, Because it's then that we are free from the heavy emotions, the painful experiences, the discomfort."

"Seeing ourselves is the same and similar to our increasing self-awareness."

"Love is a word that has been used to describe so many things... deep and pure love, that love that is self-giving."

In today's episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of weaknesses and vulnerabilities. She discusses the common trend of feeling ashamed or apologizing for not knowing something, which can impact mental well-being and self-image.

Today's episode delves into the common feeling of mom guilt experienced by mothers. Dr. Dunni considers how guilt can stem from various situations like missing important events or not meeting perceived expectations.
