Oh boy, are you in for a treat today!? I am sharing behind the scenes what's been happening with us on the parenting front. We had a big breakthrough last week and realized that our main focus on parenting was a bit 'off.' And we made a shift, and now our entire family is notably more engaged and happier. I also realized I was people-pleasing around my kids. I was relying on them to be happy and to feel good in order for me to feel good. My energy in making them feel happy or protecting their feelings caused a lot more negative feelings than necessary. Do not miss this episode! And if you don't have kids, you still need to listen, people pleasing is very common with people who overuse alcohol and food. https://angelamascenik.com/aliveaf https://aliveafbox.angelamascenik.com/pages/trial-box Tags:Angela Mascenik, Angela stop over-drinking coach, become emotionally unattached to alcohol, drink less, do more, drink less wine, emotional drinking, emotional eating, how do I feel my feelings, how to cut back on how much I drink, how to feel classy, how to feel to stop over-drinking, how to feel your urges, stop over drinking coach, Stop over-drinking and Start Living podcast, stop over-drinking help for women, Alive AF, moderation, quitting, reducing your drinking, sober retreat, born to be alive, how to stick to your planned amount, scared of change, the buzz, spouse, husband, partner, social groups, family groups, negative feelings, intuition, listening, being positive doesn't work, validated, what isn't working, options, benefits, mindful, pivoting, pivot, last chance, vacation, relationships, setbacks, motivation, programming, society, Las Vegas, family, pre-stressing, one on one coaching, Napa, restriction,vacation, everyday life, post vacation, motherhood, marriage, boring, discomfort, commitment, trust in ourselves, trust in yourself, missing out, easier, better, vacation, over eating, weekends, parenting, care givers, parents, failing, failure, amazon, amazonculture, exitinterview, kristicoulter, bookinterview, nothinggoodcancomefromthis, toxicworkplace, genderdiscrimination, womenintheworkplace, Proactive, Reactive, Fighting for your Problems, trial box, how to deal with urges, parenting, people pleasing
