Overcoming Anger in Motherhood With Compassion & Balance w/ Elizabeth Andreyevskiy

Show notes

About This Episode Aaron sits down with Elizabeth Andreyevskiy, a Christian life coach, wife of nearly 16 years, and mother of four, to talk about overcoming anger in motherhood. Elizabeth didn't realize she struggled with anger until her third child, and it eventually led to spanking her kids in rage. That low point brought her to counseling and to a new focus: working on her own regulation rather than trying to fix her toddler. She shares the practical tools that helped, from a morning routine that raises her capacity to taking thoughts captive and a "vision writing" exercise that rewires how she responds to triggering moments. Elizabeth also distinguishes conviction, which comes from God and leads to change, from shame, which comes from the enemy and leads to hiding, and encourages moms to meet failure with godly sorrow.
