How to Stop Overparenting: Trust Yourself, Not Your Fear! 

Are you doing everything for your child…and calling it love? In this episode, we're peeling back the curtain on overparenting and the subtle ways control shows up (micromanaging, rescuing, rushing, rewriting their essays) and how it can backfire.

With insightful stories (including the moment a Montessori teacher politely called me out for still packing lunches), and real talk about self-awareness, fear, and the difference between leadership and control, we're walking you through how to step back without falling apart.

Letting go isn’t giving up your authority, it’s how you gain influence and raise independent, resilient kids who actually want to talk to you because they trust you and don’t feel judged by your control.

Mom Guilt is Lying to You - Here's How to Shut it Down

In this raw and real episode, we’re unpacking one of the most toxic emotions moms carry: guilt. Spoiler alert - guilt feels useful, but it’s actually hijacking your parenting, sabotaging your credibility, and weakening your connection with your kids.

We break down how to spot guilt in action, how it messes with your authority, and why it’s time to stop letting it drive your decisions.

You’ll learn the 4 categories of guilt, what to do when guilt creeps in, and how to parent with intention - not from a place of shame, regret, or people-pleasing.

Guilt is not a parenting strategy. It’s a distraction dressed up as concern.
