58. Why You Can’t Follow Through (and How to Change It Without Losing Your Kids’ Love)
Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything you can as a mom… but still end up yelling, giving in, and then feeling completely defeated?
You’re not alone—and you’re not a bad parent.
In this episode, I’m diving into why so many parents—especially single moms and Bossy Helpers—struggle to follow through with discipline. We’ll unpack the emotional cycle of guilt, fear, and people-pleasing that keeps us stuck, and I’ll show you how to break free from the Unhappy Kid Triangle and step into calm, consistent leadership instead.
You’ll learn:
Why your follow-through feels impossible (hint: it’s not just a behavior issue)
How trauma, identity, and the fear of rejection show up in your parenting
The shift from Bossy Helper to Respectful Leader
How to parent with firm love—without losing connection with your kids
This episode is honest, hope-filled, and packed with practical truth rooted in Scripture and psychology. Whether you're exhausted, discouraged, or desperate to break old patterns, this is for you.
You’re not a failure. You’re growing.
Let’s walk this healing journey together.
xoxo,
Danielle
