Discipline can feel exhausting, confusing, and emotionally charged. Many moms find themselves reacting out of frustration, then feeling guilty afterward-- wondering if they're shaping their child's heart or just managing behavior. If you've ever asked, "There has to be a better way than this," this episode is for you.

In this episode....

We talk about the heart posture behind discipline and why how we discipline matters just as much as what we do. This conversation shifts the focus from control and compliance, intention, and long-term heart change-- for both parent and child.

What you'll learn...

• How your emotional posture impacts discipline outcomes
• Why calm, connection discipline leads to deeper heart change
• Practical ways to discipline without reacting in anger or guilt
• How to balance authority with grace in everyday moments
• Encouragement that discipline is a growth process for moms too
