In this week’s blog, Sheryl talks about Parenthood: Letting go again and again and again:
When I first began doing research for Conscious Motherhood – both the book (yet to be published) and the website – I was struck by the recurrent theme among new parents about how challenging it was to let go. The specific area of challenge differed from each person, ranging from letting go of getting stuff done to letting go of getting eight hours of consecutive sleep a night to letting go of attachments to the identity of being a working person in the outside world, but there was almost always at least one – and usually several – areas where the new mother or father had a hard time surrendering.
