You’re More Than Someone’s Parent

Monthly Theme: Finding Meaning and Purpose Beyond Parenthood

A hard reality:  our children cannot be our purpose.

Our children can be a huge part of our life, and yet our purpose extends beyond our role in parenting them. 

The gift: when we build a life with meaning beyond our children, we give them permission to do the same.

Ask Yourself:

What emotional impact might it have on my kids if they feel like they are my sole purpose?
Have I developed a full life-with relationships, meaning, and activities beyond parenting?
Will my kids worry about me when they launch?
What is my purpose?

Be Well. ❤️
