Episode 210: Parenting and Spirituality

Listen to this unique Whinypaluza episode where Rabbi Alex Lazarus-Klein interviews Rebecca on his radio show, Crossroads Sunday to discuss parenthood and spirituality.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

The importance of having a community of mothers to safely and openly discuss topics and issues in motherhood and provide much needed support.
Today, it is all too common to feel immense isolation. Connecting in a community is incredibly important and necessary.
If you are trying to find time to fit in important things- schedule and set due dates.
The effect you have on others is not always apparent and immediate. Know that you are impacting others and that what you do matters.
Parenting feels like doing God’s work every day. You can find spirituality in parenting.
Guilt is universal. Rebecca’s journey of overcoming guilt on her parenting journey has been unexpected and wonderful.
Focusing on a strong foundation for your children will ensure that they will survive in the world outside the home.
Providing your children with a religious foundation is beneficial to both you as a parent and to your children.
The importance of relying upon your religious community and reaching out if you need help and support. Your synagogue or church has a lot or resources to take advantage of.
Start being easier on yourself and focus on what you do right each day.
