Are you a mom feeling overwhelmed by the daily challenges of parenting? Do you sometimes wonder if you're alone in your struggles? In this raw and revealing episode, I dive deep into the realities of motherhood and the transformative power of self-reflection.

• The unspoken truths of motherhood: From emotional outbursts to guilt-inducing tactics
• How to identify and release parenting behaviors that don't serve you or your child
• Practical strategies for developing patience and setting healthy boundaries
• The game-changing power of offering choices to your child (and how to do it effectively)
• Overcoming the "default settings" that hold us back as parents
• Journal prompts to help you create your ideal vision of motherhood

Whether you're a new mom navigating uncharted waters or a seasoned parent seeking a fresh perspective, this episode offers relatable stories, actionable advice, and a supportive community for your parenting journey.

Join me as I explore the path from parenting frustration to family harmony (even as a single parent!), and discover how to become the mom you've always wanted to be – patient, present, and powerfully connected to your child.

Journal Prompt Flow:

1. How have I behaved as a mom that I’d like to release any shame or guilt around?
2. How would I like to behave as a mom? What is important to me?
3. What skills do I need to develop? Do I have any of these naturally, and do I have to build any of them from scratch?
4. What are my natural settings that are already getting in the way or could prevent me from being calm/patient/etc.?
