You listen to parenting podcasts. You read books. You are a student of how to be the best mom for your kids. 

You work your tushie off for your kids…maybe even to be the parent you would’ve wanted. 

I see you. 

And I know you beat yourself up about the hard moments when you just can’t hold it together anymore. 

And wouldn’t it be amazing to have a partner that sees all of you? All that you do. All that you are as a mom. 

Would it help you to not be so hard on yourself for those “oops” moments with your kids, if your partner was there to remind you:

• Remind you that you are beautiful inside and out.
• Remind you that a few unproud moments don’t make you a bad mom.
• Remind you that so many things are working!
• Remind you that your kids are lucky to have a mom like you.

Enjoy this little back and forth convo between a dad and me about exactly this. 

And if you want to start Masterminding your house, come and join us!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize and ride the cycle of times where you feel like you’re winning, and times when you feel like you can’t do anything right.
• What to do when you’re in the Messy Middle and feeling guilt over parenting mistakes you’ve made in the past.
• To give yourself grace when you feel like things suck, so you don’t make yourself feel bad for feeling bad.

And much more!
