Episode 166. In this episode, Kristen sits down with Rebecca Fox Starr, author, writer, blogger, and mental health advocate, to unpack the struggles and joys of motherhood. They dive into Rebecca’s book, Am I Doing This Right? Making Choices Without Mom Guilt, exploring the pressure moms face to make the "right" decisions and the guilt that often accompanies them. Rebecca offers practical advice on navigating those choices and shares how to cope with feelings of being a "good" or "bad" mom. They also discuss the importance of modeling resilience and vulnerability for your kids.

They talk about the concept of creating your own "mother adventure"—where there are no right or wrong paths—and tackling the negative self-talk and comparisons that often weigh us down. They also touch on the role of social media in modern parenting and how staying aligned with your values can help reduce anxiety. This episode is a refreshing take on setting healthy boundaries, embracing imperfection, and finding balance in your parenting journey.
