I’ve written a little e-book for you. I’m having some issues with the email sign-up at the moment, so send me an actual email to colleen@colleenhiggs.com
I’ll be more than happy to send it to you.

What is Unpacking Parenting about?
When I first started travelling, I used to over pack. I stuffed in all the things for every possible scenario and prayed I wouldn’t have to unzip my suitcase going through airport security.
It was stressful. And heavy.
Sometimes we do that with parenting, too. Try to learn and buy and prep all the things for all the stages. Before baby even arrives.
Moving overseas 4 different times (3 with kids) has taught me to travel a little lighter. We can usually find the resources, people and knowledge we need as we go.
That’s true, not just for parenting, but also for all the big changes, new adventures, losses and stages we go through.

Painful. Intense. Exhausting, sure. But, awesome?
Coach had run us so hard I thought I’d puke. I was dying! And I was freaking out a little that my lungs and legs were burning SO bad.
She loved to push herself. She had a much more positive view of physical stress than I did. She knew stress wasn’t always bad or toxic. She had a healthy stress mindset. I had yet to develop that.
