Episode 109: Setting Compassionate Boundaries in the Early Days of Parenting: Interview with Tina Hallock and Serena Ward

Thank you so much for listening, in this episode we discuss setting compassionate boundaries in the early days of parenting. My guests for this episode are Tina Hallock and Serena Ward. They are both mothers and together they host the No Need to Explain podcast and they call themselves the Mental Health Mamas. 

Tina Hallock, although trained as a teacher, has held many odd jobs as she and her family have traipsed across the US. No job has taught her more in the last 26 years than being a mama to her children. She is a dog lover, a knitter and crusader to normalize mental health.

Serena Ward has worked in a variety of different roles over the years, but the one that she is most proud of is that of mama to three beautiful girls. All other credentials aside, it is the experience of knowing what it’s like to have a child who struggles, that she brings to her work as a Mental Health Mama. In addition, she is a believer in the goodness of humanity and a champion of hope.

Setting boundaries is such an important topic, so I really think this episode will have a lot to offer many people. Thank you for listening.

In today’s episode we are discussed: 

  • What compassion resilience is

  • What compassion fatigue is

  • How to set compassionate boundaries

  • Why boundaries are so important

  • Our favorite Brene Brown books :)
