Hey hey friend! If you’ve been here for a while, you know I am passionate about emotional health. I want good emotional health for all my friends (yes, you!), and I brought in one of the smartest people I know to help us get there.
Terra Mattson is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor who has practiced for nearly two decades and oversees a team of 20 clinicians.
She’s a wife, a mom of two teenage girls, and passionate about helping moms raise their kids well. Terra and I go all in today on a conversation about my favorite topic: emotional well-being in moms and kids.
Listen in as Terra and I talk about:
-
Women discovering who they are apart from a specific role, even in the trenches of motherhood
-
How to disentangle ourselves from unhealthy messaging about the calling of motherhood, even within (maybe especially within) the Church
-
Why emotional regulation is an important piece of raising kids who love like Jesus
-
How our emotions reflect our being made in the image of God
Favorite quotes:
- “Our identity especially in the Christian community gets wrapped up in motherhood in good and not healthy ways."
- “The power of knowing our story and how it has influenced us is so important.”
- “Emotional regulation is one of the number one resources and modeling that we have to give our children.”
- “Each of us have something to offer and teach each other.”
- “We don’t have to be in competition. We can link arms and model a different way to our children.”
- “The work that you are doing at every stage of your children’s lives is affecting the relationship even today.”
- “Think about the long haul while you are figuring out who you are.”
