35. Permission to stop delaying your joy and peace (a conversation with Amber Trueblood)

Mama, I see you, sitting on the sidelines, putting everyone else first, yet yearning to know when it will be “my turn” to be happy.   “I will ____ when ____”.    “I will take that dance class when the kids are older.”   Have you uttered a statement like that when talking about something that you are interested in doing for yourself that would give you happiness and joy?  I have.  Yet, recently, I’m learning that delaying and denying have only led to resentment and overwhelm.    In a world that overloads women with guilt, this conversation with Amber Trueblood is my guilt-free gift to you.  My hope is to give you the space to grant yourself the permission to discover what makes you smile and to just do it already!   About my guest, Amber Trueblood:   Amber Trueblood is a licensed therapist, author, podcaster, and mother to four sons.
