Whether you’ve heard the story of The Little Red Hen or not, you know what it’s like to feel like you’re doing everything and everyone else gets to enjoy the fruits of your labor. This classic children’s story epitomizes the struggle of the high-functioning mom who always does it all without any help or appreciation.
In this episode, I offer a few of my own personal impressions and insights into what The Little Red Hen can teach overwhelmed moms who feel tired and resentful of carrying the huge invisible load of motherhood.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How common and normal it is to get frustrated by how much you feel like you have to do compared to others
- Why wallowing in pity because you’re the little red hen of your family hurts everyone
- Why speaking up and asking for help isn’t just hard; it’s threatening to your very identity
- What happens on a nervous-system level when you start to hold boundaries or “impose” on others
