Ep. 117: Loving Your Kids Without Overparenting Them


Listen Later

Parenting is a delicate dance of holding on just tight enough while letting go where it matters most. In this week’s episode of the Mom to Mom Podcast, host Kate dives into the heart of this balance—loving our kids deeply without micromanaging their every move.


✨ Are you wondering if you’re holding on too tight—or giving just enough room for them to grow?

✨ Do you wrestle with fear when your child’s path feels risky or unexpected?

✨ Are you ready to release control into God’s hands while still staying connected?


In this conversation, we’re exploring:

🌱 How to build trust and independence while letting go of micromanagement.

💬 Creative ways to nurture open communication without crossing into control.

🙏 The peace that comes from knowing our children belong to God.


Parenting isn’t about perfect outcomes—it’s about preparing our kids to step into God’s unique calling for their lives, even when it doesn’t align with our expectations.


This episode is packed with practical wisdom, biblical encouragement, and a reminder that motherhood is ultimately about letting go with love. If you know a mom who needs this message, we’d be so grateful if you shared this episode with her. 💛
