Healing, Empathy, and Emotional Resilience: Amber Mabie's Story | Ep 042
Ever spent an entire night awake, worrying about your children's future, or felt an overwhelming guilt for a mistake you made as a parent? If so, you're in good company. In my heart-to-heart conversation with Amber, a passionate advocate for children, wife, and self-confessed nerd, we peel back layers of parental guilt, emotional walls, and the challenge of balancing self-care with caring for others. The journey of motherhood is like walking on a tightrope. It's complex, beautiful, and at times, incredibly challenging. Amber shares her transformative journey with therapy, shedding light on her struggle with postpartum anxiety, and the importance of identifying emotional triggers and maintaining a healthy relationship with oneself. Drawing from our personal experiences, we dive into the power of resilience, the fine balance between codependency and interdependence, and the healing potential of early marriage counseling.Our chat doesn't end there, though. We also touch upon the emotional vulnerability in men, discussing Amber's husband Derek's healing journey. We emphasize the power of a supportive community, acknowledgement of our parenting mistakes, and the importance of emotional resilience in children. As Amber profoundly puts it, heal first, then create space for others to heal. We wrap up our conversation with a potent reminder - you are loved, valued, and appreciated. As we navigate through this rollercoaster of life, let's remember to always extend empathy, offer support and, most importantly, continuously strive to be better versions of ourselves.Find Amber on Facebook: Amber Mabie for Warren County School BoardCome say hi on my new IG account for couples!
