Thank you so much to Erin Malawer, award-winning blogger of Allergy Shmallergy, a unique resource for families dealing with food allergies, for nominating Love After Kids for the Brotherhood of the World Blogger Award!

We all have different modes, parts, or voices that comprise our internal worlds. Different situations will trigger different modes based on past experiences and habitual ways of relating and responding. The most pernicious of them all, and probably the most universal, is the self-critic. The self-critic always manages to find fault with something you do. It's a bully, and it will beat you down if you let it.
