Sustainable Parenting | Raising Confident Kids with Positive Parenting Strategies

102. The Truth about Mom Rage


Listen Later

Rage is rarely talked about in parenting circles, yet so many moms silently experience it—followed by guilt, shame, and confusion. In this weekly podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on this taboo topic with honesty, compassion, and real solutions.

As both a therapist and parent, I share my personal journey with mom rage, how it impacted my parent-child connection, and the simple yet powerful mindset shifts that helped me move toward calm, confident parenting. You’ll discover why unmet needs—like exhaustion, lack of support, and feeling unaccomplished—can fuel intense anxiety & emotions, and how to break the cycle with positive parenting strategies that work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Gentle parenting approaches for managing overwhelming anger
  • Calm parenting tips and kind and firm parenting tools to set boundaries
  • How self-compassion and healthy limits can stop resentment from building

✨ If you’re looking for parenting tips & tools for parenting without yelling, gentle discipline, and ways to stop power struggles with kids, this short episode offers hope, relief, and a path toward sustainable parenting.

Next week, we’ll explore “Self-Care Bulldozing” and how we sometimes unintentionally block the support we truly need.
