After a week-end of lots of connection with family I was so anticipating my precious alone time at work on a Monday morning. While in the shower my daughter comes bounding in “Mom there is no school today!”
“No school? Why?” I ask.
“School doesn’t have electricity.” My daughter responds gleefully.
“SHIT!” I respond with equal enthusiasm!
I am fit to be tied! In fact after the shower I start (but do not send) an irate email to the school director. After all these snow days and now this! How is a person supposed to make a !@$% living? And perhaps the primary reason for this coming-out-of-my-skin feeling: how is an introverted mom supposed to maintain her sanity?!?!?!
I NEED TIME TO MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily I have a loving partner and am resourceful so we came up with a plan and it all worked out. Exhale.
Does this story resonate with you? Do you ever feel like you are going to pull your hair out (or someone else’s : )?
If so then join me this Thursday, April 16th at noon (EST) to learn 3 Ways to Save Your Sanity as an Introverted Mom or Dad!
Yes, Jeanine, sign up me!
“See” you on the call!
Warmly,
Jeanine

An outcome of introvert advocacy coaching with Jeanine:
“Embracing my introverted style instead of trying to change it was life changing. I realize we can do things our own way rather than trying to fit in. I feel empowered. This coaching with you exceeded all my expectations. I learned so much.”
