You asked them to put on their shoes for the fifth time… someone’s crying, someone’s chasing the dog with a sock, and suddenly—you snap. You yell. And now you’re left feeling awful, googling “How to fix emotional damage in 3 minutes or less.”

You’re not a bad mom- you’re a real one.

This episode is your lifeline after a blow-up. You’ll learn the 3-step strategy to repair the connection (without the awkward “sooo… you want ice cream?”), how to stop the guilt spiral before it swallows you, and why one moment doesn’t define your parenting.

Messy moments happen. It’s what you do after that matters.
