Vanessa Bennett: Mothers and Wives: Resentment Is Yours to Own

The Sounds True Podcast Network. I always say resentment is your codependency being activated. So if I can take stock of even a tiny little bit of resentment, it doesn't have to be some massive overwhelm and I can say, okay, what am I not speaking about? What am I brushing under the rug? What am I wishing were different?

What aspect of this person am I wishing were different? In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is Vanessa Bennett. Vanessa is a licensed depth psychotherapist, author, and facilitator, known for her direct yet compassionate approach to mental health. She's the co-author of the book, It's Not Me, It's You, with her partner John Kim, and co-hosts the podcast Cheaper Than Therapy. Now, with Sounds True, Vanessa Bennett is the author of a new book.

It's a remarkable book, a book that I can highly recommend. It's called The Motherhood Myth, a depth psychotherapist's guide to redefine parenting. re-imagine intimacy and reclaim the self. Friends, stay with us. It was about a decade ago when I first heard this teaching from the famous management philosopher, Peter Drucker.
