Real Parenting For Sensitive Moms
Claim This Podcastby Adrienne Bishop and Leah Andreoni
Podcast Overview
<p>Parenting while being Highly Sensitive is not for the weak of heart. And since sensitive moms often have sensitive kids, your house is probably filled with big emotions, everyone feeling everyone else’s feelings, strong-willed, gifted, deep-love-bucket kids… and sometimes it can be a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>On top of that, you’re probably analyzing, noticing, and anticipating everyone’s moods and needs before they even realize how they’re feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming. It’s frustrating. And your nervous system probably feels like it’s on overload most of the time. Add in overthinking, anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, and you’ve got a recipe for a burned-out, stressed-out mom trying desperately to do everything right, hold everything together, and make everyone happy, which, by the way, is an impossible standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is you, I want you to know: you are not alone. And thank God you found this podcast. 😂</p><p><br /></p><p>No, but really, we are so happy you’re here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm Adrienne Bishop, and as a parenting coach for highly sensitive families and a highly sensitive mom myself, I wanted a place where sensitive moms could feel seen, heard, and understood. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I started this podcast with my friend and fellow highly sensitive mom and therapist, Leah Andreoni, because we know you want answers. You want support. You want to understand yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Real Parenting for Sensitive Moms podcast is here to help you realize you’re not crazy. We’re going to un-shame all the things you secretly shame yourself about. We’ll give you real tools that actually help with your sensitive kids. We’ll help you love your sensitivity. And we’ll help you feel connected to a community of moms who truly get it.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>WELCOME.</b> </p><p><br /></p><p>*DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only.
