This month's embrace being episode is going to be a little different since we are talking about beliefs. We believe a big part of embracing yourself is also embracing your beliefs. No one wants to be out there not knowing what to believe or unable to think for themselves. That is the beauty of the world we live in, that we have such a wide diversity and the ability to think for ourselves based on our own convictions.

No matter whether you are at stay at home mom or a working mom, both are hard in their own ways. In this episode we are going to focus on how we can embrace being a working mom or parent.

Love is patient, love is kind, love can just blow our minds. Love can look and feel so many different ways. It can be difficult to find the words the explain the love that you feel for different people in your lives, whether it is your spouse, your kids, or your parents. One thing we do know is that love grows! Love is your heart is never divided. Somehow while we feel our love for someone could not grow anymore, we learn that our heart and love just finds ways to grow sometimes quickly because of a special moment and sometimes slowly overtime.

Why is it that dads are praised for doing typical dad duties that moms are just expected to do? So many moms are expected to do so much and are instantly judged for every little thing. It's like kids should mainly be with their moms and when dad is in charge he's "babysitting" or "such a great dad". Now we are happy there are so many more involved dads than before, but can we normalize their responsibilities or make sure moms get praise as well.
