Somewhere along the way, moms picked up the lie that a “good mom” never gets angry. But the truth is, every mom does. Anger by itself isn’t the problem, it’s what we do with it that matters. In this episode, we’ll break down where this false belief comes from, how it fuels guilt and shame, and why anger can actually be a signal pointing to what’s broken or what needs to change.

You’ll learn:

• Why believing “good moms never get angry” sets you up for guilt
• The difference between sinful anger and healthy boundaries
• How anger can be a cue, not just a failure
• Practical steps to respond instead of explode
• Encouragement for handling emotions with wisdom

Every mom has been there: you ask your child to do something right now… and they ignore you, argue, or drag their feet. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and can turn the simplest request into a battle.

In this episode, I’ll share practical strategies to help kids actually listen in the moment, not general listening or parenting strategies.

You’ll learn:

• Why kids tune moms out (and it’s not always defiance)
• How tone, timing, and body language affect listening
• Common mistakes that make kids less likely to respond
• Simple adjustments that get kids to follow through faster
• How to stay calm and consistent without nagging or yelling

If you’ve ever thought, “Why don’t my kids listen the first time I ask?” this episode is for you.

Every mom knows the moment, you’re so tired, so worn down, that you do something you swore you wouldn’t. Maybe you put your child in preschool when you planned to keep them home. Maybe you hand over the tablet just to get a break. In that moment, it feels like survival. Afterward? The guilt hits hard.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why exhaustion pushes moms to go against their values
• The difference between survival mode and truly “giving up”
• How guilt makes the problem worse, not better
• Ways to build in breaks before you crack
• How to get back in line with your values without the shame spiral

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t believe I did that…”—this one’s for you.
