DEEP DIVE: Dropping the Rope
This month, we're doing a deep dive series into letting things go\u2014arguments, unattainable standards, you name it! You can find the playlist with all of the episodes in the series\xa0here. \nWhen you're locked in a battle of tug-o-war it can be extremely exhausting to keep up the fight. But there is a solution: dropping the rope. It may seem counterintuitive, but when you're in the middle of a conflict you've had many times before\u2014when you're fighting for something that seems very important, or at least obvious\u2014and then suddenly drop the rope, you're allowing the space for something different to occur.\nHere are the links to the resources we mentioned in the episode:\n\nJen Lumanlan for Your Parenting Mojo: "Want to stop playing Tug of War with your child?"\n\n\nOur Fresh Take with Dr. Jill Stoddard on How to Manage Our Anxiety\n\nOur bookshop!\n\n\nWhat Fresh Hell Podcast is going on tour across the Northeast US this fall!
