If you’ve ever ended the day thinking, “Why did I yell again?” or replaying that moment when you lost your cool and immediately felt guilty — this episode is for you.

Today I’m opening up about one of the hardest moments in my motherhood journey — the day I realized yelling wasn’t helping anyone, least of all me. You’ll hear what happened, what I learned afterward, and the simple reset that helped me move from reacting to responding — and finally start connecting with my family again.

We’ll talk through the SOS Reset (Stop, Observe, Shift) and how to use it when emotions run high — whether it’s your partner asking one more question, your kids arguing in the background, or you just trying to make dinner in peace.

As a coach for working moms, I teach women how to replace survival mode with steady rhythms — how to lead their homes with calm instead of chaos. This episode is your invitation to start.

You don’t have to be perfect to bring peace into your home. You just need one simple reset — and a willingness to pause long enough to choose connection over control.

If this episode spoke to you, share it with another mom who’s bone-tired and trying to be everything for everyone. Let’s remind her—slowing down isn’t giving up. It’s coming home.

Do you ever sit down at the end of the day, ready to rest… and your brain instantly fires off a list of 10 more things you “should” do? Lunchboxes, laundry, school forms, birthday gifts. Suddenly you’re back up, running the household like a manager while everyone else gets to just live in it.

You’re not failing — you’re overloaded. And that invisible mental load is exactly why you feel more like the manager of your family than a mom in it.

In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔ Why being the “default parent” makes it impossible to ever fully stop ✔ The hidden shame that comes when no one sees what you do remember, but everyone notices what you don’t ✔ How science explains the mental/emotional labor moms carry — and why it’s so draining ✔ A simple Mirror question to quiet the guilt spiral and shift the lens back to you ✔ Why the undone dishes, the backpack in the hallway, or the missed form aren’t proof you’re failing — they’re proof you’re carrying an impossible load

✨ You’re not broken. You’re just overloaded. And when you shift the lens, you start to see yourself again — calm, confident, whole.
