144. Let Your Children Sand You Down Aug 01, 2025

Show notes

There are times that being kind, sincere, patient and truthful feel PHYSICALLY painful. As if a bone in your body may break if you say something kind when you feel angry.

What if yelling, perfectionism, people pleasing, lying, criticizing, shaming... could all be sanding off of you?

This perspective of "sanding your down" will completely transform the pain of that moment to an incredibly purposeful healing experience for you.

This will increase your patience, courage and discipline to do what is right even when it is hard.

Here is the link to If Only I Had A Green Nose that I LOVE. Every book in this series is incredible.

All my best friend,

143. Stop Writing Negative Thoughts, Do This Instead. Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

Oh wowza, we need to have a heart to heart.

Writing negative thoughts just to "get them out" does NOT validate an emotion. Thoughts are not feelings and feelings are not thoughts.

THIS is the writing exercise you want to do to process through negative thoughts without getting stuck in them, so you can create empowering thoughts that serve you through ANY emotion and circumstance.

Turn to a blank page, friend. I'll teach you how to do it.

All my best,

Tessa Romero

p.s. I have this free email group where I send you word-for-word journaling examples.

141. Hands Like Martha, Heart Like Mary | Life Mantra Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Are you rushing through the day just trying to get the "to-do" list checked off and get to bed "on time"? You're probably feeling disconnected, unavailable and resentful in the process.

I understand this to my core.

Which is how and why I came up with my new life mantra "Hands like Martha, Heart like Mary" to help me remain available to the Lord and my family, while also serving in ways that light me up.

This small shift in perspective has delivered the most wonderful results as I've been able to see how I can have BOTH.

I know that you can, too.

The power is in what we choose to think. I hope this one slips right in to your heart and your mind gives up the idea of your value being tied to your productivity.

I adore you, I really do.

139. Excellence over Perfection, 5 Truths That Set You Free Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

Giving less than your best is a betrayal to yourself.

Yet, with perfectionism and the bags of tendencies that come with it, there seems to be an unspoken fear of striving for excellence and doing all that you can every single day.

You'll be told

"that's too much."

"you shouldn't expect so much from yourself."

"it's not realistic."

Even if you enjoy waking up to a clean kitchen that reminds you of fresh starts and new days... someone will tell you that the pressure to clean it every night before bed is just too much.

This is why understanding the difference between a mentality of Excellence and a mentality of Perfection will set you free.

This episode takes a look at why we use perfectionism, how you can practically condition your mind out of it and what it looks like to strive for excellence AND fall short.

I hope you enjoy it!

Details for my coaching membership where this episode was inspired are right here. Huge thanks to Danielle for being a light and someone we can learn alongside.

138. Positive Parenting Tools With Ralphie Jacobs May 20, 2025

Show notes

Today Ralphie Jacobs is joining the MOMSET Community to empower us to be a safe parent that sees the good in her children.

You can look forward to learning about positive parenting, "junk behavior," inconsequential behavior (this blew my mind) and remarkable perspective that keeps you going even when it feels really, really difficult.

Look at us- breaking cycles. "We are one generation from the "that's permissive" mentality..."

"Parenting is not a societal matter. It's personal, it's spiritual and it's emotional, but it's not societal..." - Ralphie Jacobs

137. Quiet Observations, Quick Corrections. Parenting Mindset You'll Love May 13, 2025

Show notes

Choose quiet observations and follow it with quick, intentional corrections.

A few years ago, I realized that explaining every decision to my kids—why they couldn’t have something, what I didn’t like about their behavior—only made things worse. It fueled conflict, invited pushback, and exhausted me emotionally. So I made a change.

I started quietly noticing the behavior, keeping my thoughts to myself, and then making a swift correction without fanfare. Whether it was about food dyes, screen time, or behavior after movies, this shift brought peace to our home and confidence to my parenting.

You'll want to get a pen and piece of paper ready for the writing exercise in the last part of this episode. It will help you experience a huge shift in mindset and self-empowerment!

More details on my coaching membership are right here.

I'm excited to hear about your implementation of "quiet observations and quick corrections" to your daily parenting triumphs!

135. Negative Thoughts About Helping Your Kids | Why Not Help? May 01, 2025

Show notes

It's interesting that moms are being told how good and admirable it is to ask for help, then in the same breath we are told not to help our kids when they ask for it.

"They're old enough to do it themselves."

"They're big enough to do it themselves."

"That's not mine, they should do it."

"If I don't do it no one else will."

I'm big enough, old enough and perfectly capable of simple tasks and sometimes those are the ones I feel are too big when I have so much else going on.

I want my kids to know they can always ask for my help. Even when it's a problem or task to face on their own, I'll be there with them as a listening ear and word of guidance.

Why would my kids ask for help with the big stuff if I instilled a "do it yourself" belief with the small stuff?

This is my perspective that nurtures my willingness to serve seamlessly, say "yes" to helping and instilling lifelong beliefs.

This is the Instagram reel I mentioned in the episode.
