Do you ever feel like every day is an emotional rollercoaster — one minute you’re calm, and the next you’re yelling or doubting yourself? Are the preteen years testing everything you thought you knew about motherhood? Do you want to parent with more peace, confidence, and connection — even when emotions run high?

In this episode, I’m sharing the #1 mindset shift that changed everything for me as a mom — the shift from control to connection.

If you’ve been stuck in guilt, frustration, or constant power struggles with your preteen, this conversation will help you finally understand what’s really happening — and how to lead with calm confidence instead of reaction.

You’ll learn how to move from trying to control your child’s behavior to guiding them with grace, replace mom guilt with a growth mindset rooted in faith, and practice emotional regulation so you can respond calmly instead of reacting in frustration.

This episode will help you stop surviving motherhood and start thriving through it — one peaceful moment at a time.
