Today, Dr. Dunni explores the delicate balance between career aspirations and family responsibilities. She shares her personal experiences as both a working and stay-at-home mother, highlighting the emotional and financial pressures that often compel mothers to continue working despite the challenges of childcare and career interruptions. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of creating harmony between work and home life, rather than striving for a strict balance, and encourages mothers to harness the energy derived from their love for their children to fuel their professional growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many mothers face the challenge of balancing their careers and motherhood, often feeling overwhelmed and drained as they try to juggle both responsibilities.
The rising cost of living has made it necessary for many families to have dual incomes, which can force mothers to continue working even if they would prefer to stay at home.
Childcare can be expensive and complicated, with situations where mothers still have to pay for services even when their children are unable to attend due to illness.
Instead of striving for a strict balance between work and home life, mothers should aim for harmony, where both aspects complement each other and allow for personal and professional growth.
Practicing gratitude for both home and work life can help mothers maintain a positive mindset, enabling them to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning rather than setbacks.
BEST MOMENTS
"Finances have become a hot topic in our day and age, especially with the rising cost of living. In those days, it was a situation whereby one person went to work And with that salary, you could feed the entire family. Now, you need two people working to be able to take care of food, clothing, shelter, basic necessities of life."
"Delay is not denial."
"Harmony comes when you take the energy that you build up from the love that you shower on yourself and your child and the people around you. And you use that generated energy to fuel your passion, your job, your career, your business, your work."
"Tapping into the gratitude of whatever situation you're in allows you to see things differently."

Dr. Dunni discusses the power of breath in calming oneself and shares practical breathing exercises to release stress and ground emotions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Just like mechanical devices need to be switched off and restarted to function properly, mothers also need to take moments to unplug, withdraw, and retreat in order to recharge and be more effective.

Set realistic expectations in relationships and prioritize your well-being by creating a sacred space.

"Acknowledge how you feel. Don't hide it. Don't repress it. Acknowledge it. Show yourself compassion."
"You can't always meet people's expectations and they can't always meet yours either. So you need to set realistic expectations if you are to experience life in a way that you're not stressed out, neither are they."

In this episode, Dr. Dunn delves into the sensitive topics of shame and guilt that many mothers face. She shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate through feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of self-love, empathy, and sharing experiences to overcome shame and move forward with confidence. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, recognize their worth, and strive for personal growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is crucial to show empathy towards oneself and others, focusing on behaviour rather than identity.
Don't keep experiences of shame a secret, as secrecy can make shame more powerful. Sharing with trusted individuals can help alleviate shame.
Laughter can be a healing tool when dealing with shame, as long as it is done with self-compassion and not self-deprecation.
Just like in the movie "Shawshank Redemption," moving through shame can be likened to crawling through a sewer - uncomfortable but necessary for rejuvenation and growth.
Despite mistakes and criticism, it is essential to have faith, confidence, and belief in oneself as more than enough to overcome shame and move forward positively.
BEST MOMENTS
"We make mistakes. We're human after all, but in the midst of our mistakes, we are amazing mothers."
"Shame in itself can be extremely dangerous... It does the exact opposite because now this person starts to feel I'm a failure."
"Empathy, not sympathy, empathy. You see, don't feel sorry for yourself, but feel the love for yourself."
"When you share, it takes a huge load off your chest. And it also depletes the power of shame."
"You might have made mistakes. Yes, you might have been told you need to be ashamed. I want to tell you today that you can turn this around."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni discusses the idea of holding on versus letting go, drawing inspiration from the Disney movie Frozen. She considers the importance of analyzing one's goals, values, and emotions to determine whether to persist or release. Dr. Dunni encourages listeners to periodically assess their choices, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and the potential benefits of embracing change.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is important to regularly analyze the things we are holding onto to ensure they align with our goals, values, and purpose.
Just like water, we should aim to be flexible and adaptable in our approach to holding onto or letting go of things in our lives.
When letting go of something significant, it is important to allow ourselves to grieve as a natural part of the process.
Incorporating regular analysis into our routine, whether quarterly, monthly, or weekly, can help us make informed decisions about what to hold onto or let go of.
Taking the time to self-reflect and ask the right questions can lead to gaining clarity and making better decisions about what to hold onto or release.
BEST MOMENTS
"There are some people that are very keen when it comes to holding on to things, and that's brilliant. It's good. Some people call that persistence."
"I made a mistake. And I know it's a very hard thing to say. Many people think that when you say I made a mistake, it means you're a failure."
"There are some times that we hold on to certain things for more than five minutes. It could be five hours, five days, five weeks, five months, five years, five decades."
"If you have a bird and you let it go, if it comes back to you, it's meant to be yours. If it doesn't, it was never meant to be."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the challenges faced by working mothers and the importance of self-care. She metaphorically compares mothers to generals leading their armies, emphasizing the need for mothers to protect themselves with an "armor" built from their life experiences. Dr. Dunni discusses the significance of recognizing and addressing internal struggles, encouraging mothers to see, ask, feel, and express deep love for themselves to determine if they are safe to remove their armor and prioritize their well-being.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mothers are like generals leading their army of children, facing significant responsibilities and stress in balancing work and home life.
Mothers have built up emotional armor over the years from various experiences, both positive and negative, to protect themselves and survive.
Dr. Dunni outlines four steps for mothers to assess their emotional well-being: see yourself, ask yourself, truly feel, and express deep love.
Expressing deep love for oneself leads to compassion and kindness, giving permission to take off the emotional armor and prioritize self-care.
It is essential for mothers to share and spread the message of self-care and well-being with other mothers to create a supportive community.
BEST MOMENTS
"Many times we as mothers are like soldiers. We are the generals that are leading our army."
"Our armor has been built on years of hurt, of pain, of shame, failure, successes, victories, celebrations, defeats."
"It's okay for us to take that armor off, Because it's then that we are free from the heavy emotions, the painful experiences, the discomfort."
"Seeing ourselves is the same and similar to our increasing self-awareness."
"Love is a word that has been used to describe so many things... deep and pure love, that love that is self-giving."

In today's episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of weaknesses and vulnerabilities. She discusses the common trend of feeling ashamed or apologizing for not knowing something, which can impact mental well-being and self-image. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of reframing weaknesses as potential superpowers and encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities. She emphasizes the essence of authentic living and the importance of guiding children to identify and work on their weaknesses while celebrating their strengths.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Recognize and embrace your weaknesses: It's important to acknowledge and accept your weaknesses as they can be turned into strengths with the right mindset.
Vulnerability is a superpower: Expressing your weaknesses and vulnerabilities is a sign of strength and authenticity, not something to be ashamed of.
Self-awareness is key: Identifying your weaknesses allows you to decide whether to improve, delegate, or accept them as they are.
Celebrate diversity in strengths: Just like different animals excel in different environments, individuals have unique strengths and weaknesses that should be appreciated.
Focus on personal growth: Instead of trying to be great at everything, focus on developing your strengths and managing your weaknesses effectively.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's okay not to know things. People perhaps see me and think, oh my goodness, she knows a lot about this. Not really."
"How comfortable are you talking about your weaknesses? Now, don't get me wrong. I love to demonstrate my strength."
"The ability to see your weakness and talk about it is where it's almost like you opening up your heart, knowing that yes, there will be some trolls, there will be some nasty people."
"There's always room for improvement. And if you had all the resources, the time, the mentors, everybody, you can be great at everything, which is well, but that's, you probably need about three or four or five lifetimes to do that."
"Our children are all different. And there's some of them that are fishes, some of them are monkeys, some of them are horses, and some of them are birds."

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Guilt is a natural human emotion that can serve as a tool for self-improvement and growth. It is important to acknowledge and learn from feelings of guilt rather than dwell on them.
Release the pressure of being a perfect mother and accept that challenges and imperfections are part of the journey. Avoid setting unrealistic expectations for yourself.
Taking care of oneself is crucial for overall well-being and effective parenting. Fill your own cup first to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy relationship with your children.

Quality moments with your children, whether through simple activities or meaningful conversations, are more important than the quantity of time spent together. Prioritize creating a safe and empowering environment for your children.

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
"Communication is key. There are some times when maybe I couldn't make my children's school event or sports event. And for some reason I felt, oh gosh, I felt a lot of relief when I was able to say to my child, sweetheart, I'm so sorry."
"The moment you first of all let go of that perfectionism, that's a very good step."
"Be mindful of the things you focus on. If you are feeling that guilt, that's fine. Lean into it and learn from it."
