Family freeloading on your unpaid labour is REAL. So what is service, and what is enabling/over-functioning? It requires you to hold high expectations and a level of self-worth on your minimum standards for how others treat you, and how you treat yourself.

In this episode we discuss:
- It’s overfunctioning when you’re running from a threat
- It’s service when you’re connected to your heart
- It’s enabling when you limit their potential for growth
- The paradox of holding ‘not being liked’ and maintaining love and respect in a relationship
- Watching your co-dependent merge tendencies, rather than checking in on your greater alignment
- Subconscious tendencies to stack more load on ‘easier’ kids
- Sibling conflict as a way to balance family systems
- Self-worth as a barometer for what you tolerate in your home
- A willingness to be disliked by your child as you call them to accountability

Firstly, ouch. That’s a hard place to be. How do you get out of the burnout and resentment cycles and into a parenting relationship that feels more equitable?

First, you’ve got to look at why you’re overfunctioning, what your emotional set point is, and how you can step out of the way. So let’s get on the co-parenting train!

In this episode we discuss:
- Our motherhood can be shaped by how supported or unsupported we feel
- Feeling trapped and alone
- Trauma responses of self-sufficiency and people-pleasing
- Our own ‘puff-up’ and ‘beat-down’ cycles
- How to hold your own personal standards
- Releasing your trauma responses on your partner
- Your partner’s parenting relationship is not yours to steer or control
- Being okay in your lean-back
- Trusting your kids to build their own relationships

When you put a ring on it, the work is not done. But we can tend to find ourselves working our current relationship off an old program and set of agreements. There’s only freedom if you’re choosing it, so let’s talk about how to get out of feeling trapped.

In this episode we discuss:
- Your own confirmation bias
- Whatever you look for, you find
- Limiting beliefs that cap what you want and ask for
- The discontent of relationship pushing you into choosing yourself
- Dedicating years to undervalued care work
- Getting back the pieces you think are missing
- How your body reflects your value system
- Partnering with someone who has the opposite values to you
- Renegotiating relationship terms
- Less pressure and more ease when you stop expecting your partner to be everything
- Resourcing yourself and your life for more
- Finding freedom rather than convincing yourself to stay
