Eps 103 | Confidence: Assured in Your Convictions
Episode Description
In this powerful episode, Jennifer explores the second pillar of the Enough Mom framework: confidence. Through insights on child development and practical wisdom, she reveals how true confidence isn't about faking it—it's about knowing who you are, what you value, and trusting yourself based on the difficult things you've already overcome.
This episode is for every mama who feels overlooked, questions her decisions, or struggles to trust herself as her children grow and change. You'll discover how children build confidence through challenges, why your voice matters in your own home, and how to stand firm in your family values without apology.

✨ Your voice matters in your own home—whether you feel in-charge or not
✨ Building confidence is not built on others' approval, but on your own experiences and ability to trust yourself
✨ Children build confidence through personally challenging situations and resilience
✨ Sometimes your child just needs you to be a witness to their thought process, not hand them all the answers
✨ Your role as a mom changes as your children grow—and that's okay
✨ Living out your family values without apology means being clear and kind about what matters most
✨ You have enough in you now to step out and ask for what you need
✨ You need real-life relationships with real people, not just perfect social media snapshots
✨ You are a whole person who deserves to be heard—not just part of the system
Episode Highlights On True Confidence"I'm not talking about the fake it till you make it kind of confidence... I want us to get down to the core of what it means to have confidence in our choices."
On Your Value as a Mother"Your voice matters in your own home. Your voice matters. Whether you feel like that in-charge mama or not, many women don't, I want you to walk away believing that you are valuable and that you can step into your confidence as a mother."
On Building Resilience"Children do not learn and grow to trust themselves unless they're in personally challenging situations. That resilience is what children build when they're in a place that they can learn to struggle through and overcome something."
On Changing Roles"It's more about, do I trust that I've given them enough to make their own good decisions? It's hard to work out of that role because your role does change slightly."
On Family Values"Living out your family values without apology does not mean that you need to be harsh or defensive about things. It means being clear and kind about what matters most to your family."
On Your Worth"Your opinions matter because you matter. Do you believe that? Do you believe that you have the right to take up space in this world, that you have a voice that needs to be shared?"
