Mom Fails & Parenting Wins: The Honest Truth About Motherhood


Moms, have you ever had one of those parenting moments where you just thought, “Wow, I really messed up”? Maybe it was forgetting an important school event, handling a meltdown the wrong way, or realizing—just a little too late—that silence in the other room was NOT a good sign. In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on our own "mom fails," the messy moments that make parenting both humbling and hilarious.

As we return to the studio after a brief hiatus, we reflect on the joys and challenges of motherhood—especially with a new baby in the mix. From a heart-stopping moment when Zara, our 6.5-year-old, came home to an empty house to the emotional rollercoaster of bottle-feeding baby Ava, we’re sharing it all. We also unpack how our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent, why self-kindness is non-negotiable, and how we can help our kids process emotions in healthy ways. Plus, we introduce a simple yet powerful family practice that can transform dinnertime into a space for connection and healing.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself as a mom, felt overwhelmed by sibling chaos, or just needed a reminder that you’re not alone in the messy middle of motherhood, this episode is for you. Tune in now and let’s navigate this beautiful, imperfect journey together.
