I Was An Emotional Mess. Mindfulness Helped Me Be A Better Mom.
[[link removed]] 
We’ve all got our own baggage and struggles, and sometimes it’s hard not to
think about how that affects our kids. Today, Meg Raby is talking about how she
applied the work she did with her therapist to her parenting, and the difference
it made.

She admits: “I’ve suffered from an anxiety disorder since I can remember, and
have been on Prozac for 15 years. But, medicine was not enough for me to become
the person I wanted to be, the mom I wanted to be. There was actual work to be
done within the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotions and
emotion regulation. I had come to the place where I knew my reaction to anxiety
would have a direct effect on my children if I let it.” 

Read on to learn more about what she did next – and think about whether you
might want to use some of it in your own life. 

— Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor
