• Momma guilt, a feeling that's all too familiar to most of us. We'll discuss ways to overcome this common challenge and offer support to all the moms out there who grapple with it.
• The fear of failing – an ever-present worry for parents. Heather and Tabatha will share their insights on how they navigate this emotional minefield.

The panel will also share their personal successes in parenting, sharing that one invaluable tip or mastered skill that has made all the difference in their motherhood journey. As a bonus, we'll uncover what each of them feels they excel at in parenting.

So, grab a cup of tea, cozy up, and join us in this illuminating and inspiring conversation with Heather, Tabatha, Samantha, and Nikki.
