Power Your Parenting: Moms With Teens

#317 Three Minutes That Could Change Your Entire Mom Day


Listen Later

Do your mornings start with chaos and a mental to-do list that never ends?

What would shift in your day if you took just three intentional minutes for yourself each morning?


In this deeply affirming and humorous episode, Colleen O’Grady welcomes Erin Morrison, author of Three Minutes for Mom: 365 Days of Empowerment, Encouragement, and Growth for a More Connected Motherhood. Erin shares how a simple daily practice—rooted in short reflections and compassionate reminders—can transform a mother’s emotional landscape. From real talk on “mom bods” and meltdowns to metaphors like “feelings are like laundry,” the conversation covers how small mindset shifts can help moms feel more grounded, connected, and confident. Erin emphasizes that empowerment doesn’t mean being perfect—it means believing in your goodness, even on the messy days. Together, Colleen and Erin remind moms that it's not personal—it's developmental—and that motherhood is an ongoing experiment, not a performance.


As the creator of The Conscious Mom, Erin's approach to motherhood gives mothers exactly what they need: tools to make tiny shifts and create big change. With two master's degrees in Counseling from Columbia University and a specialization in conscious parenting, Erin uses her down-to-earth, non-judgmental style to help mothers f feel more confident, connected & calm. As a mom of two, she understands the dynamics of parenting-and lives them herself so she can help parents everywhere dramatically and positively improve their relationships with their children.


Three Takeaways:


  1. You don’t have to be perfect to be a great mom. Let go of the pressure to get it all right. What your kids need most is your presence, not your perfection.
  2. Start your day with you. Taking just a few minutes in the morning for reflection, gratitude, or a grounding ritual can completely change your energy—and what you bring to your family.
  3. Believe in your child, even when you can’t believe their story. When your teen spirals into dramatic thinking, stay grounded. Your belief in them—even when they don’t believe in themselves—is an anchoring force.
