363: Beyond Meltdowns: How the Double Empathy Problem Changes Parenting Forever
Ever catch yourself thinking, “Why is my kid the one who never listens, melts down in public, and acts like the rules don’t apply?” (Meanwhile, every other kid at the park seems to be happily eating carrots and saying “yes, Mom.”) If you're constantly exhausted from power struggles, frustrated by the defiance, and feeling like nothing you try ever works—this episode is for you. We’re diving into a completely different way of looking at so-called “difficult” behavior, one that might make you realize your child isn’t trying to be a problem… they’re actually wired differently. Enter the double empathy problem —a concept that could shift how you understand your kid, how you respond to them, and how peaceful your days feel. This isn’t about letting go of structure. It’s about building connection, reducing the chaos, and finally feeling like you and your child are on the same team . Give it a listen—you might just stop dreading bedtime tonight.

359: The Let Them Theory: Parenting Edition!
Are you that parent who can't stop micromanaging every little thing your child does? Do you find yourself having daily battles over what they wear, eat, or how they choose to style their hair? (We see you, and we've been there too!) In this episode, we break down Mel Robbins' "Let Them Theory" - allowing kids to have their reactions while managing our own responses. Sometimes you just have to "Let them have their feelings"! We discuss when control is necessary (safety first!) and when to ease up (food choices, bedtime). Through personal stories, we show how being guides rather than dictators helps children develop agency and learn from experience. Don't miss our special 5-day challenge to help you implement the "Let Them Theory" in your everyday parenting!

358: 3 Reasons It Isn't Your Fault When You're Afraid to Pursue Your Dreams (& how to overcome it) with Abbi Miller
Ever wonder why you keep pushing your big dreams to the back burner? What if fear isn't actually stopping you, but is actually a sign you're on the right path? Join Holistic Biz Strategist, Speaker, and WorkWomb™ Founder Abbi Miller as she shares her transformative journey of pursuing bold adventures—from being a professional actress and international travel entrepreneur to helping creative women scale their businesses without burning out. Abbi reveals that fear is a natural part of pursuing big dreams, and waiting for that fear to disappear means missing out on life's most exciting opportunities. Drawing from her own experiences—like conquering her shark phobia by surfing and launching international teen travel programs in her early twenties—she encourages women to feel the fear and move forward anyway. The episode explores how women often struggle with imposter syndrome and the belief that they need to do everything alone. Abbi advocates for building a supportive community, hiring help, and recognizing that discomfort often signals you're honoring your true path. Her message is clear: your unique vision is worth pursuing, even when it feels scary or unconventional. Listeners will walk away inspired to let their "freak flag fly," embrace their innovative ideas, and understand that the most remarkable journeys begin with taking that first courageous step—fear and all.

341: 3 Things You Need to Know to Heal Your Grief After a Loss with Krista St-Germain
When Krista St-Germain’s husband was killed on the side of the road, her life shattered in an instant. Left to navigate unimaginable grief, she quickly realized something shocking—most of what we believe about grief is completely wrong. Now, as a Certified Life Coach, Post-Traumatic Growth and grief expert, widow, mom, and podcaster, Krista has made it her mission to help others process loss in a way that actually helps, rather than harms. In this episode, Krista shares three powerful ways to support a grieving friend or loved one—including why simply witnessing their grief is far more meaningful than trying to "fix" it. She also debunks one of the biggest myths about grief: the five stages of grief were never actually about losing a loved one! Originally developed for terminally ill patients coming to terms with their own mortality, this outdated framework often does more harm than good. If you’ve ever struggled with what to say—or not say—to someone going through loss, this episode is for you. It’s raw, eye-opening, and will change the way you show up for the people you love.

Are you exhausted from trying to make everyone else happy while your needs barely make the list? It’s time for a wake-up call: you don’t need to be everything to everyone . In this episode, we’re tackling people-pleasing head-on—because trust us, We’ve been there, and it’s not a great place to live. Our guest Amy Wilson, actress, podcaster, and author of the newly released, Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser , shares relatable stories and a fresh perspective on why so many women are stuck in the people-pleasing trap.

We’ll explore how society has set us up with impossible expectations and what you can do to flip the script—because being a “good mom” doesn’t mean losing yourself in the process. This episode is packed with empowering advice, a dose of humor, and actionable steps to help you start putting yourself first without the guilt.

328: ENCORE: You Aren't Being "Spoiled"
Why in the world do we have such low standards sometimes? Many of us wouldn’t give someone the time of day if they were to say to us “I like to keep the bar low, so that way when I do anything- you get impressed”. Um- no thank you! Next, please! And yet, we hear moms say that they feel spoiled when their partner gives their kids a bath (for the first time ever...and their youngest is 3!), or they were able to sleep in one day out of the year. Seriously? When did that count as being “spoiled”? In this episode, we push against that thought process that as moms, we should be happy settling for cold chicken nuggets as a meal and someone offering (but not actually doing) the dishes one day a year. We dig deep into expectations, why we sometimes settle for less than we know we deserve, and 4 things we can do about that today!

319: Don’t Make These Big Mistakes- Do This Instead This Holiday Season!
Tired of trying to be the holiday superhero while clinging to your last shred of sanity? If you’re the one orchestrating the holiday magic (and probably losing a little hair over it), this one's for you. We’re diving into that festive frenzy where moms end up juggling gift lists, holiday cards, and 27 different kinds of cookies while wondering if there’s enough wine in the world to survive it. Today, we’re serving up some much-needed real talk about setting boundaries and ditching those holiday perfection traps. Forget the Instagram-worthy gingerbread house and focus on what actually brings joy. Spoiler: It’s not the perfectly frosted sugar cookies but maybe letting someone else handle dinner (yes, store-bought counts). And hey, if the thought of one more Christmas card makes you twitch, skip it. This season, we’re all about delegating, saying no, and choosing self-care over burnout. Because let's be honest—your happiness is worth way more than a picture-perfect holiday mantel. Resources We Shared: Have a million holiday tasks taking up brain space?

302: Your Motherhood Burnout Survival Guide: the 5 Key Components of Relationships with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
Strap in for a delightful rollercoaster of emotions in today’s episode as we dive deep into the bustling world of motherhood, relationships, and the secret spices (literally) that make or break our daily interactions. We’re joined today by Morgan Cutlip, Ph.D., who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the new book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do . Morgan shares the not-so-sparkly side of motherhood and how it's more teamwork than a solo mission. Husbands, take note: "Get in there" isn't just a suggestion—it's a necessity, especially when toddlers turn life into a full-contact sport! Switching gears, Morgan breaks down her dad’s legacy and her own work—the Relationship Attachment Model. Imagine your relationship as a stereo equalizer with sliders for 'know', 'trust', 'rely', 'commit', and 'touch'. Morgan encourages all moms (and dads) to know themselves and their needs. She offers up nuggets of wisdom on managing personal needs without turning into a walking mom-zombie of resentment. It's about finding that sweet spot where self-care meets care for others, without losing yourself to the daily grind. This episode isn’t just a podcast; it’s a survival guide, a therapy session, and a coffee chat with a good friend all rolled into one.

Do Enneagrams Help You Parent Better? Harnessing Enneagram Insights for Resilience and Growth with Beth McCord
Ever felt like someone had read your diary because they understood you so well? That’s the Enneagram for you—equally enlightening and a tad eerie! In this episode, we’re joined by Beth McCord, who is the founder of Your Enneagram Coach, an Enneagram speaker, coach and teacher for over 20 years. Beth breaks down the basics of the Enneagram, explaining that each of the nine points represents a distinct personality type, each with its own lens (or pair of colored sunglasses, if you will) through which they view the world. These types are defined not only by their actions but more importantly, by their core motivations—fear, desire, weakness, and longing. The conversation takes a practical turn as Beth applies Enneagram wisdom to parenting, drawing from her book "Enneagram for Moms." She emphasizes the importance of parents using the Enneagram to work on themselves first, to better understand and guide their children. This episode was packed with enlightening bits and real talk, making the Enneagram a tool not just for self-discovery but for fostering deeper empathy and understanding between people. Dive in if you're up for some serious self-reflection and a few laughs along the way!

Is Your Kid a Mastermind Manipulator or Just Being a Kid?
Welcome to another episode where we dive deep into the wild world of raising kids without losing our sanity (too much, anyway). Buckle up, because today we’re here to dismantle the secret life of our little masterminds – or so we think! Ever caught yourself thinking your child might just be the next Stewie Griffin or Megamind, scheming away in their high chair? You're not alone! Today we unpack why we often credit our kids with more mischievous genius than they're capable of, and what's really going on in those developing brains. Spoiler alert: No, your child isn't plotting to overthrow the government. They might struggle to manage their emotions—because that part of their brain isn't even fully cooked yet! We share some eye-opening insights into brain development, and why your teen's overactive amygdala is winning the battle against their still-maturing frontal lobe. Think Rocky, but less punchy and more moody. And because no parenting podcast is complete without touching on allowance, we dive into the magic of teaching kids the value of money. By the end of this rollercoaster ride of an episode, not only will you feel a tad lighter from all the laughter, but you’ll also be equipped with strategies to help see through those moments of child-induced panic. Whether it's setting clear, simple boundaries or understanding the financial teaching moments, you’re not just raising a child—you’re guiding a future adult! Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

Lies You've Been Told About Being the Good Girl with Elise Loehnen
Today, we're unraveling the knotty history of the seven deadly sins and shining a light on some surprising historical tidbits. Buckle up because your perception of virtue and vice is about to get a playful shake-up! Did you ever wonder where the idea of The Seven Deadly Sins came from? Well, buckle up because today we’re joined by our special guest Elise Loehnen, who is the host of the podcast, “Pulling the Thread”, and author of the New York Times Bestseller, ON OUR BEST BEHAVIOR: THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND THE PRICE WOMEN PAY TO BE GOOD. It turns out, they were first discussed not by Moses or Jesus, but by a fourth-century monk named Evagrius Ponticus, who, after a spicy scandal, decided to jot down what he considered the eight pesky 'demons' of daily life. And yes, there were originally eight! But hold onto your hats - that’s not all! We journeyed through how these so-called 'sins' have seeped into our view of femininity. From the historical mistreatment and misunderstanding of Mary Magdalene, all the way to modern challenges women face, like feeling the need to police each other and subjugate their desires to societal expectations. This is not your typical Bible study class! Whether you’re a history buff, a feminist, or someone who loves a good old deep dive into cultural norms, this episode is your ticket to thinking differently about the world around you. #goodgirl #parentingpodcast #mompodcast #parentingtips #momlife #selfcare Resources We Shared: Learn more about Elise Loehnen Join our newsletter!

4 Flawless Strategies for Managing Stress and Revitalizing Your Relationships with Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT
Ready to untangle the knot of a couple's stress? Dive in as we unpack the secret stressors rocking relationships! 🎧 In this episode, we’re joined by our guest, Elizabeth Earnshaw, who is a renowned Gottman therapist, founder of A Better Life Therapy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and a Clinical Fellow of The American Association of Marriage & Family Therapy (MA). She explains the concept of diffuse physiological arousal (DPA) and how chronic stressors, like never-ending parenting duties or acute moments, like a near-miss traffic accident, flood our bodies with stress hormones. This hormonal hijack can make us lose our relational superpowers—turning us into less-than-lovable versions of ourselves. From humorous attempts at tension-breaking gone wrong to the physical signs of stress during arguments, we delve into the world of couple's therapy and the techniques used to bring partners back from the brink of relational disaster. Learn about the evolutionary reasons behind why we react the way we do in stressful situations, and discover the different stress response types – are you a cobra, a deer, or maybe even a possum?

Our Dirty Little Secrets: What We're Afraid to Admit That We Don't Know How to Do
Have you ever felt like there’s a big flashing neon sign that says, “I don’t really know how to do this”? Well, you’re in the right place! In today's episode, we dive deep into our own little secret stash of skills that we shamefully admit we don’t possess... yet! We all have them—those secret skills that you wish you had, but you don’t. Sometimes you try to hide it from others, or you do Jedi mind tricks to convince people that you actually know how to do it. From not knowing how to change a tire to the mysteries behind loading a dishwasher “correctly” (according to our significant others), we uncover it all. And yes, we're challenging both ourselves and you to confront these gaps with a grin (and maybe Google by your side). So buckle up (or should we say jack up that car?), as we navigate through our shortcomings with humor, discuss how boosting our confidence is sometimes all we need, and maybe, just maybe, make you feel a little less alone in your quest to master the basics.

4 Tips to Keeping Quiet (and help your kids be more self sufficient)
As Moms, we like to view ourselves as seasoned vets of life - we’ve birthed and/or are raising children and we’ve seen a LOT. Someone throws a tantrum at the grocery store? No sweat. You’ve got poop on your jeans and it’s not your own? Unphased, stain remover can work wonders. But there’s a moment with our kids that always stops us in our tracks no matter HOW many times we experience it: The child that wants advice but doesn’t actually WANT your advice. It’s a bit of a mind F, if you don’t mind us saying so, because our sweet children come to us carrying the weight of the world and asking the hard-hitting questions: “Mom, why don’t I have an A in math? It feels like I never have time to study for our tests”. In your head, you’re screaming WELL YEAH!! You spend an hour every night watching YouTube, what did you expect?! But we all know you can’t say that to your child - because it’s too practical and your name is Mom. Instead, you choose to bite your tongue. But that is WAY easier said than done. Today we’re talking about how to manage these situations with your children in a way that helps them solve problems on their own, recognizes their struggle (no matter how small or easily solvable it seems to us) so they feel seen and heard, and how not lose your own dang mind in the process.

Why Do We Have Holes in Our Undies?
Here’s the scenario: You’re browsing Amazon for some cute, affordable summer maxi dresses because it is H-O-T on this earth. You find a few you love and add them to your cart only to hit that “Save for Later” button for all of them… why? Because that money should be spent on things your kids need this summer like sunblock, swimming diapers, new swimsuits, and UPF hats. Right? WRONG. Yes, your kids probably need a whole bunch of new things to get through the summer because they’re growing, but that doesn’t mean you have to go without. Now we’re not saying throw caution and along with it, budgeting, out the window, but we ARE saying you deserve nice things TOO. This episode digs into why we as Moms feel like we should be last on the list to get new things and the way that approach creates stress on us every single day. Think about the last time you bought yourself new underwear; it’s probably been a minute, right? If you’re like most Moms out there you’re buying things for your kids before you even think about yourself and we’re about to shake up your summer and proclaim: BUY THE UNDERWEAR!!!

Why the Heck is No One Sleeping? Sleep Secrets You Need to Know with Rachael Shepard-Ohta
Is there anything worse than feeling sleep-deprived? In the grand scheme of things - yes, but when it comes to motherhood - NO. I’m sure you don’t need us to tell you that waking up multiple times a night (or maybe just waking up and never falling back asleep) makes parenting during the waking hours so. much. harder. It’s like being hungover but without the beverages or social interaction, and we’re not here for it. That’s where our hero guest today, Rachael Shepard-Ohta, comes in. She is the founder of Hey, Sleepy Baby and the host of No One Told Us Podcast! She helps parents navigate infant and child sleep in a way that feels good for them to get the whole family more sleep and feel more well-rested. And did we mention she's the busy mama to three, ages 6.5, 4, and 18 months?! Our chat with her is truly insightful, even if you’ve passed the infant sleep stage with your own kiddos. Find a comfy seat - but not too comfy because we don’t want you falling asleep - and learn how you and your whole family can start enjoying better sleep all the time.

The Real Reason Why We Can’t Just Relax!
“Just relax!” Two words that are both practical and condescending as heck at the same time. When it comes to being a woman, and especially a mom, in 2024 you would think we would have fewer societal expectations about productivity but guess what? We don’t. And THAT is the heart and soul of our episode today. We’re going to be talking about the difficulties of relaxing as a Mom and a woman and WHY this pressure feels so intense sometimes. We’re tapping into the fear of being judged for literally EVERYTHING we do (Did we pack enough snacks? Did we manage that tantrum correctly? Did we drink our coffee in the right way?! The list is ENDLESS) and the deeply ingrained messaging that down time is wasted time. We’ll also be covering the role expected gender norms and competitiveness play in putting our nerves on a ragged edge. Grab your lavender essential oils, your most soothing tea (or something stronger!), and take a little time to listen, relax, and NOTHING ELSE. Multi-tasking is not invited to this party!

We’re digging into the science behind Mom Brain, the many moments postpartum when you’re wondering “What the HELL happened to my body?!” and “Is this normal?”, and the importance of having a community to tap into when things get tough… and they’re going to - because you’re a Mom.

10 Things Women Get Told In Public That Don’t Need to be Said… Ever
If you’re a woman who has left her house in the last 20 years you know when it comes to your appearance, your family, your lifestyle, heck even your HEIGHT, people have a lot of HOT TAKES that they’re just dying to share with you. From fielding questions like “Who’s watching your kids?” when you’re out with friends for an evening to “How tall ARE you? Did you play basketball?” we’re breaking down why people feel the need to speak to women and particularly, Moms as if they’ve lost all understanding of social norms and politeness. This communication can be particularly harmful not only to us - because who needs some random guy at the grocery store commenting on the size of your family - but also for our children when they see it. The internalized message of “Moms should always smile” or “Moms are the ones responsible for caring for the kids… always” creates a cycle that we want to change. We’ve got a serious lineup on our list of silly comments so let’s break it down and break the cycle, hit play, and enjoy! Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

Let Them Eat Sugar: Busting the Mom Myths that Simply Aren’t True
Picture this: You drop your kids off with their Grandparents while you and your partner go out for a much-needed date night. When you pick the kids up they are wide awake and bouncing off the walls. You know the culprit: sugar. Because, according to your mother “Grandparents are SUPPOSED to give their grandkids treats!”. Now - before you get twisted we’re going to ask you to hit a hard PAUSE on your stress spiral and serve you some realness: sugar doesn’t make kids hyper. That’s right people - it’s a MYTH.

That bouncing-off-the-walls energy after a treat-filled visit to the grandparents’ house? It’s probably just a high your kid is riding from being with people who aren’t their parents and doing activities that are different from the daily norm… aka excitement. From sugar and hyperactivity to ADHD this one hits close to home because…. well, it’s happening in our homes! If you’ve ever wondered why we think a Jolly Rancher has the power to keep a child up all night or help them run a marathon in circles around the backyard, we’ve got the answers for you. We’re so excited to share a whole ton of information with you today and make you the Mom in the Know on your Mom text message chain. Grab your favorite sugary treat and relax!!

When Are We Going To Stop Telling Ourselves We’re Fat?
The 90s were sick… like literally, sick. Here’s what we mean: the popular body type of the day was being Kate Moss skinny. If you missed the 90s or just weren’t old enough to remember Kate splashed across all the magazines, trust us, it was an unattainable look. While it’s easy to fall into feeling like we’ve come a long way since those days we want to face the truth: that the way women’s bodies are treated, the messages we receive, and sometimes even the messages we SEND are still perpetuating the idea that being thin means being beautiful. This episode is alllllll about flipping the script (and perspective) surrounding our bodies and saying goodbye FOREVER to the word fat. This episode is for the struggling, the body conscious, the body positive, and the Moms who want to empower their daughters to view their bodies in a loving light.

1 Easy Habit To Get Kids To Open Up More
I. D. K. The three most dreaded letters in the alphabet for Moms everywhere. There’s nothing more conversation halting than the “I don’t know” response when you ask your kids what they learned, how their day was, what they want to eat… anything. We’re not sure if it’s some kind of kid code or what, but we know it’s definitely not helping us have open and honest conversations that give us insight into their lives and potential struggles. Today we’re breaking down that IDK and talking about how to get your kids to open up - especially when you feel like I don’t know actually means “I’m panicking inside and have feelings I can’t quite explain”. We can’t promise you’ll leave this episode a parent/child relationship expert, but we can say you’ll learn a bit about communication and how it can help you and your child grow together and as individuals.

Why You Shouldn’t Reward Your Kids for Good Grades
Here’s why we love the 40 hour work week: Everything you do while you’re on (or off) the clock for work is financially rewarded… right? Laughing. Out. Loud!! No matter if you’re currently working full time or the last ”official” job you held was in high school (SAHMs we see you!!) we know that the effort you put forth at work each day is not always rewarded financially or at all (again, SAHMs, we see you!). If that’s the reality of the world we live in, why do we use that approach with our kids when it comes to school and grades? Today we’re doing a little call back to a past episode where we shared that we DON'T financially reward our kids for good grades and let us tell you - this was a hot topic! We’re breaking down why we - and the research - believe that giving your kids money for “good” grades can be harmful, not only in their learning, but to their overall perception of worth at such a formative age. We’ll cover how to approach good grades and broach the not so good ones too. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode as we head into report card season!

Why Does This Piss Me Off So Much? Your Values Can Screw Everything Up
If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a thousand times, being a Mom is like living life in a pressure cooker. Okay, we’ve never actually said that but we’re saying it today, and we mean it! Being a Mom comes with a lot of joy and happiness… and stress and worry and self-doubt and pressure and… the list goes on and on. If you feel like you’re in a funk lately (or ever) - like you just can't do anything right or enjoy things that normally bring you joy, you might be grappling with pressure from your own values. Values play a major role in the way we live and EXPERIENCE our lives; it impacts our happiness and even perceived effectiveness in the many roles we hold in our daily lives. Today we’re talking all about WHY our value system is so closely connected to our peace of mind, HOW to identify what truly matters to us (instead of society), and how to live life feeling confident in ourselves.

How to Make Sure You Get What You Want for Mother’s Day
Unpopular opinion: Sometimes, the gifts we get on Mother’s Day are more work than they’re worth. Mother’s Day is right around the corner. That’s right people - gear up for breakfast in bed and the crumbs/spilled orange juice you’ll probably have to clean up for yourself after you eat it. Sometimes the gifts we get are well intentioned but… miss the mark. A massage is ah-mazing, but who is going to watch the kids or pick them up from school? A night out with your partner? Incredible, but are you in charge of booking a sitter and planning the kids’ dinner? And what about the very soft, but not very necessary robe you received AGAIN this year? As Moms we feel SO MUCH pressure to love every gift our family gives us. Today, we’re saying what we’re all afraid to say: sometimes the planning and additional mental load that accompany these gifts make them more of a burden.

The Mom Food Fight: We Don’t Do Homemade and Neither Should You!
Let’s hear it for apple sauce pouches and a side of… guilt? We’re sure we don’t have to tell you that social media is PACKED with videos of Moms making some seriously deluxe meals for their kids from scratch, on the daily. Don’t even get us started on the Bentgo lunch box videos. While impressive, these videos can create a LOT of stress, worry, and guilt for those of us who don’t find joy in making meals or just enjoy handing our kids a store bought granola bar. It’s important to know where your priorities are as a Mom and where you want to put your energy - if that’s not food prep (and eventual consumption) for your kids - that is OKAY! We’re talking all about how to let go of the need to feed today and why making homemade everything for your kids isn’t worth it if it’s going to make you more stressed out. It’s like they say when your baby is an infant - fed is BEST and we believe that whole heartedly. Grab your favorite (pre-packaged) snack and take a listen! Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

Mama’s Mental Gymnastics: Why Dads Need to Stop Sitting in the Stands with Paige Connell
Picture this: You go to the gym in your free time (LOL) and see a very athletic human maxing out because it’s #LegDay. They’ve got a CRAZY amount of weight on their squat bar and yet they ask for more because, well, they think they can handle it. Now, imagine if all of that weight was to do lists, errands to run, events to get to, things to sign up for, after school activities, and more. That, my friends, is the mental load of motherhood. Today we’ve got a guest who is NOT all about maxing out when it comes to squatting your mental load as a mom but rather sharing that weight with your partner. Paige Connell is a working mom of 4 and content creator who brings awareness to the mental load of motherhood and advocates for equitable marriages. As if that isn’t enough, she’s also advocating for affordable childcare (preach!). She has been featured in Scary Mommy, The Today Show, Bloomberg and more!

Why We Think Screentime Limits Need to Go!
It’s become the most dreaded question at your child's annual checkup: how much screentime does your child get in a day? If you’re like us, you may have lied about it in the past to feel like you’re “not a bad Mom”. We’re here to tell you: not only are you not a bad Mom, but the pressures surrounding screentime for kids are RIDICULOUS. That’s right, unpopular opinion today - we are OVER IT! Although a relatively new term in the world of parenting, screentime has suddenly (but not surprisingly) become just one more thing that Moms are in charge of worrying about, managing, and solving. And to be honest… this worry isn’t worth the stress on your mental load. There are all kinds of strategies and quick fixes out there to help you police this behavior with your kids but at the end of the day, we think they end up being a lot of effort, tons of energy, and little reward.

Our 1-Star Review
Once upon a time we got a one-star review. It was about our Happy Mom Summit and we don’t want to talk about it…Except we do. No, we really, REALLY do. And here’s why: That one-star review unearthed a whole truckload of content to talk about with our therapists (and listeners). We’re talking all about our reaction to criticism and how being people pleasers by nature makes this a difficult thing to manage. Many of us put ourselves out there in one way or another each day - at work, on social media, with our family - and sometimes we get responses that aren’t the most uplifting. But hold the phone! In a world where there is a lot of positive - why do we choose to see the negative? As women, we should be building each other up. If you’re feeling this in a big way, this episode will be enlightening. People pleasers, we see you getting uncomfortable (we’re uncomfortable too) but we’re so glad you’re here. Hit play, take a listen, and let’s talk about how to be people pleasers for OURSELVES! In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn: Common struggles People Pleasers face including how to deal with criticism The importance of understanding your own tendencies when it comes to handling criticism or negative feedback The role self care plays in helping us manage our emotions (hello getting enough sleep!!)

Busting the Myth of Spending One-On-One Time With EVERY Kid
MYTH BUSTERS! Mom Edition. Today, we’re tackling a particularly harmful Mom Myth: That the future success of your children depends on how much one-on-one time you, as a Mom, spend with them. Newsflash: THAT IS NOT TRUE. Yes, one-on-one time with your kids is amazing, don’t get us wrong, but sometimes, it’s literally not possible. Here’s what IS possible AND beneficial to your children: spending authentic, quality time together, making space to play (especially for Mamas with little ones), and encouraging spending with both parents. To us, this feels a lot more doable than carving out a forced 10 minutes of fun each week with your kids. The name of the game is quality over quantity and we are so onboard. Head over to the episode to take a listen and learn all about the misconceptions and pressures surrounding your child’s future success and start to truly enjoy your time together. In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn: Common misconceptions about spending one-on-one time with all your kids Ways you can spend meaningful time with your kids that will create a positive relationship and memorable experiences How to set boundaries with your time spent with kids to take care of yourself, get the rest you need to be the best parent you can be, and model healthy behavior for your kids How to ditch the guilt of not spending enough time with each of your kids Resources We Shared: Happy Mom Summit A FREE online virtual event that brings you expert-led sessions, and a thriving community of like-minded moms ready to kick the guilt while raising respectful and responsible kids.

How to Succeed and Thrive When Life Throws You a Curveball with Dave Hollis
Life can be both rewarding and challenging at the same time. We often have what we believe to be a certain path for our lives and what we want for our families, but sometimes life throws us an unexpected curveball. We can feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and scared. We can feel lost in what our lives were meant to be and what our purpose is. Sometimes we just want to throw our arms up in the arm in complete frustration. But instead of doing that, what if you take this opportunity to get your bearings and find what you’re truly meant to do? And in the meantime, show your kids that we all can do scary things, and even the unexpected isn’t such a bad thing. In this podcast episode, we’re joined by Dave Hollis . Dave is an author, podcast host, and entrepreneur and helps small business owners as an integrator/consultant. He a busy dad to four kids ages 15, 14, 10, and 5, has been a foster parent many times over, and he just released a new children's book called Here's to Your Dreams!: A Teatime with Noah Book . We get candid about life and parenting and how sometimes, we’re so sure of what our life is meant to be; only to realize that we have a completely different journey awaiting us. And how when we share those experiences with our kids, how we can not only survive, but thrive throughout those unknowns- it can help build those skills in them to believe that we can do scary things.

Changing How You React to Your Kids with Mr. Chazz
We all have those moments in parenting where it seems like your child is just trying to push your buttons. It feels like it’s you against them.

He helps adults understand and guide children, Breaking Generational Cycles, all while using Conscious Discipline techniques.

Why We Struggle When We Feel Happy and Sad About Being a Mom with Kelly Smith
As mothers, we often feel guilty for having opposing feelings about motherhood. We tell ourselves that we should be grateful for everything that we do have which only negates our feeling when we aren't “loving” being a mom at the moment. But guess what, you can be both happy and sad about being a moms. That’s okay. In this podcast we talk with Kelly Smith, a globally celebrated yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Yoga For You, and host of the podcasts, Mindful In Minutes and Meditation Mama. Kelly believes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation and encourages her students to find their own personal practice, listen to their bodies, and find inner joy by accessing their most authentic selves and owning their power. We talk about how sometimes we are just “touched out” and how important it is to be kinder to yourself, and allow yourself to feel happy and sad about being a mom. Resources We Shared: Yoga for You - Learn more about Kelly Smith Meditation teacher, podcaster, and yoga teacher trainer. I believe that yoga is more than poses, it's a way of life. It is a way of igniting your mind, body, and soul. Visit No Guilt Mom No Guilt Mom YouTube Channel Watch this podcast episode on our YouTube Channel!

How School Start Times Could Be Hurting Your Teen's Brain Development with Lisa L. Lewis
We all know that lack of sleep affects how you learn and develop. And we know that most teens don't get enough sleep. They stay up late at night and then have to get up and start their school day before many of us parents even start our work day. But what if we told you there’s a reason for that, a biological one, and that chances are good that your teen's current school start time conflicts with the current research on teen brain development? In this podcast episode we are talking with Lisa Lewis. She’s a parenting journalist and author of book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen . Lisa focuses on the intersection of parenting, public health and education, and helped spark California's landmark healthy-school-start-times law. We talk about how sleep deprivation heightens impulsive & risky behaviors (especially in teens), why the current school start schedule is the way it is in the U.S., and what parents can do to help their teen get enough sleep. Resources We Shared In This Episode: Lisa L. Lewis, MS , is a freelance journalist who covers the intersection of parenting, public health, and education.

5 Steps to Being a More Patient Parent Encore
Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away. You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch. So you ask again, and your kids tells you that they will do it in a minute. Then you come in the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself. If this sounds familiar to you, then you will love this episode.

Our kids have a lot on their plates: getting good grades, social media, and everything involved with that, navigating and maintaining friendships.

You’re not supposed to be your child’s therapist! You can’t fix it all. In this episode, we are talking with Regine Galanti. She’s the founder of Long Island Behavioral Psychology, a private practice in NY, and Author of Anxiety Relief for Teens her newest book, When Harley Has Anxiety . She specializes in helping kids, teens, and parents manage anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specifically giving them tools to help them face their fears.

Self Regulation Dr. Mona Delahooke Encore
When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids . She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors! We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.

The Power of Caring: Why Companies Should Value Caregivers More with Blessing Adesiyan
Let's face it, caregivers have been the biggest unsung heroes of our time. Working mothers have had to juggle career responsibilities with providing for their families, often at the expense of their own well-being and mental health.

In this podcast episode we are joined by Blessing Adesiyan, the Founder of Mother Honestly , a complete ecosystem reshaping the future of women and families at home and in the workplace. Prior to founding Mother Honestly, she spent 15+ years in Fortune 100 companies such as Microsoft, HP, Cargill, PepsiCo, DuPont, and BASF where she built operational excellence framework across the United States, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. We discuss why the corporate world doesn’t understand how to effectively support employee caregivers, especially working moms, how women are the biggest gatekeepers when it comes to caring for children and protecting men's time, and what we can start doing now to make real change in the way society values care work.

Why You Need Healthy Anxiety vs. Unhealthy Anxiety with Lisa Damour, PhD
Anxiety seems to be everywhere these days. No one can ignore the impact the pandemic had on our collective mental health, especially those of our children. Before the pandemic, approximately 5.8 million kids between the ages of 13-17 had a diagnosis of anxiety. These days the mental health community estimates it closer to almost half of all teens in the U.S. are experiencing anxiety. But we have some hope for all of us parents. Not all anxiety is bad. As a matter of fact, healthy anxiety can help build resilience. And once you know the difference between healthy and unhealthy anxiety, you can better support your kids and their well-being. In this episode, we are joined by Lisa Damour, Ph.D. is a Psychologist, Author, and Co-host "Ask Lisa" podcast. Lisa specializes in untangling family life and is the mom to two teenagers.

Changing the Game in Education with Jerry Kolber
A survey done in 2021 shows that more than half of all students report they’re struggling to complete schoolwork and almost half find it hard to focus in class. Why is that? It’s very possible that the standards for teaching in the U.S. are a bit behind the times. Kids have different educational needs, and yet, for the most part, our educational system hasn’t changed much over the past 200 years! One thing is for sure- one size doesn’t fit all for education! In this episode, we are talking with Jerry Kolber, co-creator and narrator of the hit children's podcast WHO SMARTED?, Emmy-nominated co-creator and showrunner of Nat Geo's biggest hit series BRAIN GAMES, and Netflix's BRAINCHILD with Pharrell Williams. We talk about how kids can’t all be taught with the same strategies (read this chapter and then retain it for your next test). Kids have different needs, both emotional and educational and that’s why we need to change the game in education. Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

How to Get What You Really Want
Do you shy away from asking for things that you want because you’re afraid that it will be viewed as selfish? Many of us feel guilty and don’t ask for things that we really want (such as time away from the kids or even spending money on something that is just for us) because we are afraid that we are being so selfish. In this episode we will be discussing what causes that stress and guilt when we want something that can be defined as “selfish”, ask if being selfish is actually a bad thing, and walk you through how to go after and really ask for what you want.

What Every Parent Needs to Know About Self-Regulation with Dr. Mona Delahooke
When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids . She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors! We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.

5 Steps to Being a More Patient Parent
Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away. You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch. So you ask again, and your kid tells you that they will do it in a minute. Then you come into the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself. If this sounds familiar to you, then you will love this episode.

In this episode, we speak with Kim Hopkins, LICSW who’s a Collaborative & Proactive Solutions Trainer and Director of Outreach for Lives in the Balance. There she works with parents, educators, and providers to share the research that shows kids with concerning behaviors aren’t lacking motivation, they’re lacking skills, especially those related to flexibility, adaptability, emotion regulation, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving.

Do we parent like our moms? with Betsy Stover
Many of us have good memories of our parents and growing up, but then...there are the not-so good things. Maybe it’s the “My house my rules!” statement that you heard from your parents over and over again, or maybe it’s how your parents never had any consistency with their rules growing up.

Let's Talk About Social Justice Parenting with Dr. Traci Baxley
When it comes to parenting, so many of us want to raise “good kids”. Kids who will be kind to others, who can problem-solve, kids who truly understand and act out of compassion, and who understand inclusivity, justice, and equality. But there is often a space between raising “good kids” and raising pro-justice kids. That’s where the concept of Social Justice Parenting comes in. In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Traci Baxley, a professor, consultant, parenting coach, speaker, mother to five bi-racial children, creator of the Social Justice Parenting program and author of Social Justice Parenting: How to Raise Compassionate, Anti-Racist, Justice-Minded Kids in an Unjust World . She’s been an educator for over 30 years with degrees in child development, elementary education, and curriculum and instruction. Dr. Baxley shares with us a very vulnerable conversation where we talk about how to address race with our kids, how to engage in Social Justice parenting, and what the ROCKS of Social Justice parenting are.

Overcoming that Wave of Guilt When Getting Divorced with Erin Royer, MA
Who doesn’t know the current statistic that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? Even if you haven’t experienced divorce yourself, odds are very high that you have someone close to you who is or has been through a divorce.

In this episode, we welcome Erin Royer, the founder of Your Village an online resource for parents and host of the Parenting Beyond Discipline podcast. She gives parents tools to support their children to reach their individual potentials. Erin recently released her first book, "The Connected Parents Guide to Toddlerhood - Fixes for 7 Common struggles"! We talk openly and honestly about the guilt that so many go through when trying to decide if it’s time to divorce, what the research says on the effects of parents staying in an unhappy relationship, and what parents can do to support their kids (and their own) mental health during and after divorce.

108 How to Fail Forward with Elle Cosimano
Have you ever thought of just leaving it all? You know... quitting your highly successful job, packing up your entire family in your car, taking only want fits in said car, and moving to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico? Does this sound like the plot to some amazing book? Well, it’s the short version of the Award-winning author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It , Elle Cosimano’s life. She’s a homeschooling mother of two teens, and author of mysteries and thrillers for adults and young adults. Elle shares with us how she left her highly successful career where she felt like something big was missing. So she took a sabbatical and found her happiness in Mexico and writing her first book.

Oh, the good old behavior chart! Full of promise, hope, and stickers! But we have to tell you it’s not all it’s been made out to be.

It never fails. Every year your kid will forget their lunch or their homework. You are running through the house in the morning yelling (so everyone can hear you) that it’s time to go, as your youngest whines from his room that he can’t find his shoes, and your daughter says that her library book is missing and she absolutely can’t go to school without her library book on library day.

In this episode, we talk with Einat Nathan, a parenting expert, counselor, and author from Israel. Her first book Haimsheli , was a bestseller across all categories in Israel, making her a national celebrity. The book resonated because mothers read it, cried and smiled, and discovered a way to look at their children as independent people, not solely as an extension of who they are or as a calling card. Einat helps parents with a fresh approach to parenting and is the parent to 5 teenagers. Her book My Everything , was recently translated into English. We discuss the difference in parenting expectations in the US versus Israel, how the way our parents raised us affected our thoughts on parenting and what pressures we face as parents in this digital age.

090 Why We Need to Rethink What is Self -Care with Christine Koh, Ph.D.
What if we told you that we can live better, happier, and simpler lives by making a few adjustments to how we think about self-care? Would you try it? In this episode, we are talking with Dr.Christine Koh. She’s a music and brain scientist turned multimedia creative! She spent a decade in academia, during which time she was awarded prestigious fellowships from the National Institutes of Health to fund her Ph.D. research at Queen’s University and joint-appointment postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institutes of Technology. Christine was about to become a professor when she decided to hang up her academic spurs in favor of more flexible and independent ventures. We discuss what so many of us view “protective self-care” as and what it really needs to be to actually benefit us in the long run. Christine also shares with us her breakdown of Self-Care into two distinct parts: Protective Care and Restorative Care. And how they relate to boundaries, toxic relationships, taking a “pause”, and really overall -how we care for ourselves.

We had school, or work, or outside hobbies where we could meet people with similar interests. But when you become a mom, some of us are cut off from those outside things and we struggle trying to make those friendships going forward. And the truth is that mom friends are absolutely essential to your journey through parenthood! Well, no need to fear, we’ve got 3 tips on how to make (and keep) those mommy friendships going strong!

088 Second Child Thoughts: What Changes When 1 Becomes 2 with Lynn Berger
So many moms worry about whether or not we are giving enough attention to our kids, especially when they outnumber you! We feel guilty for spending what may seem like a lot of time with one child and not enough with the other. But is that really happening? Are we really giving some of our kids (often the younger ones) the raw end of the deal? In this episode we talk with Lynn Berger, a writer and journalist in the Netherlands, covering care, and author. As the care correspondent for online journalism platform De Correspondent , she writes about the various forms care can take, what it does for us, and what we need in order to take good care. Lynn took her thoughts and experiences of being a second child, combined them with her own thoughts as she prepared to, and had her second child, and rounded it all out with what the research says on the subject and put it together in her book, Second Thoughts: On Having and Being a Second Child. JoAnn, Brie, and Lynn talk about their own experiences both as children with siblings and with their own children and the guilt that we face trying to give each child what feels like is never enough time.

079 You Aren't Being "Spoiled"
Why in the world do we have such low standards sometimes? Many of us wouldn’t give someone the time of day if they were to say to us “I like to keep the bar low, so that way when I do anything- you get impressed”. Um- no thank you! Next, please! And yet, we hear moms say that they feel spoiled when their partner gives their kids a bath (for the first time ever...and their youngest is 3!), or they were able to sleep in one day out of the year. Seriously? When did that count as being “spoiled”? In this episode, we push against that thought process that as moms, we should be happy settling for cold chicken nuggets as a meal and someone offering (but not actually doing) the dishes one day a year. We dig deep into expectations, why we sometimes settle for less than we know we deserve, and 4 things we can do about that today!

062 How Scrap the Guilt of Paying for College with Ron Lieber
As our kids grow older things like college start becoming more and more of a necessity. And if the idea of dealing with the applications, the acceptances, and the inevitable denials aren’t enough to make you want to cut and run, let’s not forget the issue of paying for college. In a 2020 survey, more than two-thirds of parents of college-bound children say that they are very worried about having enough money to pay for their child’s college education. In this episode, we have Ron Lieber, the NY Times Your Money columnist, author of THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR COLLEGE, and father to two daughters, 6 & 14. He shares with us some tips to help squash that guilt tied to whether or not we can pay for college and helps us create a road map for making the biggest financial decision many of us will make as a family.

But between all the hats we wear, all the responsibilities that we have...many of us don’t have much that is just something for us. I’m talking about finding something that is just for you.

Today we spoke with Pamela Pekerman, CEO/founder Hustle Like a Mom, mompreneur cheerleader, and regular TV correspondent on Mom Boss Life. Thru 1-on-1 and group coaching, as well as virtual summits and social media, she empowers women to build a successful bridge from mom life to entrepreneur life.

Let’s be honest. We all need friends in life. And not just friends, but good, solid, healthy friendships. But do our kids really know how to do that? Do they really understand how to build a better friendship? We do our best to teach our kids everything they need to succeed in life. But many of us just kind of gloss over the skills of making and cultivating friendships. We may nudge our kids to go talk to other kids on the playground or ask more questions about that one classmate who when our kid talks about them, they seem to light up. But honestly, how many of us taught our kids at a basic level how to introduce themselves to others, how to find a common interest with others, and how to keep that connection going?
