E150: Calm Mom, Happy Home: Managing Anger and Emotions in Motherhood with Elizabeth Andreyevskiy

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. Today I am joined by emotional and anger management coach Elizabeth Andreyevskiy.

Elizabeth is a mom of 4 kids living in North Florida. She struggled with reactive parenting styles until she discovered emotional wellness tools through counseling. This led her to focus on supporting other Christian moms through her "Emotionally Healthy Legacy" podcast and coaching program.

In today's episode, we discuss common triggers for irritability in moms like burnout, lack of self-care, and unmet needs. Elizabeth shares tips for prioritizing small acts of self-care even with young kids. She also highlights important mindset shifts like using empathy to understand a child's perspective in frustrating moments.

Learn strategies for managing emotions effectively through compassion and perspective. Plus, get resources from Elizabeth on increasing emotional capacity as a mom.

Tune in to find practical parenting advice for maintaining calm and connection this summer.
