Sams Story. A triumph of deep Honesty, love and good therapy.

In todays episode I am talking with Sam, a yoga teacher. We started out planning to talk a bit about ways we sabotage ourselves & she got deeply honest about self-sabotage and how she had exploded her life and marriage after failed IVF and unbearable guilt of not being able to have a baby with her husband.

With that honesty we decided to post this semi-anonymously so some details are bleeped out. We also chat about other ways of self-sabotage & what she sees on the yoga mat. And how expectations of our child 'should' react sabotages our Mothering especially with special & extra needs children. Also our possible undiagnosed ADHD!
