006: The Power of Acceptance

006: The Power of Acceptance

In this episode we explore the power that acceptance can bring to our lives. You may have heard the famous saying by Carl Jung: "What we resist, persists." but what does that mean for parents in our every day lives, or what about during times that are legitimately hard? In this episode you will learn what acceptance is, what it is NOT, and how to apply it to the pieces of your life where you are stuck in "should" and are suffering as a result.

Make sure you check out the shownotes for this week's Balanced Bite, where I share how to apply Acceptance to four common, stressful situations.

Resources mentioned in the episode appear in the shownotes.
