You Changed Your Mindset, So Why Are You Still Losing Your Mind? – 355 May 27, 2025

Show notes

You’ve done the thought work. You’ve challenged old beliefs. You know your child isn’t trying to make your life harder, but you still lose it, shut down, and spiral into guilt.

This week’s podcast episode explains why that happens, and what you can do when mindset work isn’t enough on its own.

I’m introducing something I’ve been studying and integrating into my coaching lately: Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach that helps you understand and work with your nervous system.

It’s making a noticeable difference for my clients—and for me.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s a gap between what you know and how you actually react, this episode will help you bridge it.

Summer Sibling Fights and How to Handle Them – 354 May 20, 2025

Show notes

Summer often means more sibling fights, which can mean more stress for you.

With school out and everyone under the same roof, it’s easy to get pulled into constant squabbles and feel like you’re always playing referee.

In this episode, I’m talking about why kids tend to fight more in summer, what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to stay grounded when the tension rises.

You’ll learn how to respond in ways that support your kids’ emotional development and your own peace of mind.

If you’re craving fewer power struggles and more calm this summer, this is for you.

Shifting Gears From School to Summer – 353 May 13, 2025

Show notes

There’s a pattern I see every year around this time.

Kids feel stressed about the upcoming shift from school to summer, but they don’t always say they’re stressed. Instead, they act it out. The clinginess, meltdowns, and defiance are signs that their nervous systems are trying to manage a big internal shift.

And moms often take that stress on as their own, trying to prevent problems before they happen and keep everyone happy. They feel like they’re already running on empty before summer even begins.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how to shift from school to summer without spinning out, and how I'm handling things in my own home, too.

Kids Today: Why Every Generation Thinks They’re Getting Worse (And Why They’re Wrong) – 351 Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Remember rolling your eyes when your parents complained about your music or fashion choices?
Now you find yourself sighing about your child's screen time or social media habits.
The "kids today" worry is as old as parenting itself, and every generation has been convinced the next one is somehow falling short or headed for disaster.
In this episode, I'll show you why reframing this historical perspective might completely change how you view your own children's generation and your parenting, too.

The Myth of “I Turned Out Fine” – 350 Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

We don't often hear people say, “I adapted well to harsh discipline as a child. I learned how to stay small, quiet, and agreeable.”

Instead, they say, "I turned out fine."

But what does "fine" really mean?

In this episode, I’m unpacking the myth of “I turned out fine”—the phrase so many parents lean on to justify repeating what was done to them when they were kids.

This episode might challenge you. And that’s the point.

Because we’re not here to settle for raising kids who turn out “fine.”

We’re here to raise adults who thrive.

From Self-Doubt to Parenting with Confidence: Victoria’s Success Story – 349 Apr 15, 2025

Show notes

After her separation, my client Victoria felt lost in her parenting.

She didn't trust her parenting decisions and second-guessed everything.

She thought she needed to learn parenting "rules." What she really needed was to connect with her own wisdom.

In this week’s episode, Victoria opens up about her experience in the Damn Good Mama program and how it helped her find her footing again.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I think I’m a good mom” and “Why do I still feel so unsure?” — this is an episode you’ll want to hear.

Because You Can: Practicing Presence With Your Kids – 348 Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

I recently sat in the back of a church watching two young girls say goodbye to their mother.

As I listened to the stories shared about her life, I was struck by what people remembered most - the small gestures, the everyday presence, and the little ways she showed up consistently for those she loved.

It made me think about how I'm showing up for my own children, and what they'll remember years from now.

Today’s episode isn't about adding more to your already full plate, but a reminder to stop rushing through the moments you’ll later wish you’d slowed down for.

I don’t know how many bedtime stories, school lunches, or "watch this, Mom!" moments you'll get. But I do know that you have the chance to be present today and show up fully for the ones you love.

Not because you should, but simply because you can.

April Fools’ Day Special: Laughing With Your Kids, Not At Them – 347 Apr 01, 2025

Show notes

I love a good laugh.

The right kind of joke at the right time can shift the energy in a room, lighten a heavy moment, and bring families closer.

But there’s another side to humor that doesn’t get talked about as much.

Like when your kid suddenly goes quiet after you make a joke. Or when someone laughs at them instead of with them.

This week’s episode is one I think every parent should hear—especially today, on April Fools' Day.

Spring Cleaning Your Parenting Mindset – 346 Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

Every Spring, moms turn their attention to their closets and drawers, sorting through clothes that no longer fit and items that have lost their purpose.

But the heaviest clutter you carry isn't in your home at all. It's in your mind!

In this week's episode, inspired by the first signs of Spring during my recent trip to Connecticut, I'm sharing why now is the perfect time to de-clutter not just your home, but your entire approach to motherhood.

I'll help you toss out your old, outdated thoughts and beliefs to create more mental space for patience, joy, and connection.

And if you'd like to tackle some of your mental clutter together, join me this Friday at noon Eastern for an open coaching call on Zoom at the link in the show notes.
