This week's listener question: “As a child I definitely didn’t have some of my emotional needs met, and was shamed for my distress about this. A lot of this centered about me wanting to be with my mum while she was unavailable (through choice not necessity). So now I try to be really available to my children. My oldest found it super hard to give me any kind of space, and my second is currently going through that too. And I don’t know how to own my own space and needs and desires while not feeling like I’m rejecting their needs (and making them into people pleasers because they have to work around my needs).“ Email your questions to [email protected] Book a 1:1 coaching session with Layne: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠enquiryco.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Very Good Mothers Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to be a part of our community and join our live monthly calls (4th Tuesday of every month): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://verygoodmothersclubhouse.com/share/7ah7WID0giU77Bz0?utm_source=manual⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
