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.

Kids don’t need us to keep them happy all the time, they need us to help them handle their emotions. Learning how to regulate big feelings in childhood prevents major struggles later with relationships, school, and even self-confidence.

• The long-term problems kids face when they don’t learn it
• How to create a safe space for kids to process feelings
• Simple tools kids can use to calm down and move forward
• How your steady presence teaches them to regulate

Raising emotionally healthy kids doesn’t mean avoiding meltdowns—it means giving them the skills to navigate big feelings with confidence.
