Core Topic: Helping moms let go of impossible parenting rules, comparison traps, and shame and step into a grounded, connected version of motherhood.

If you’ve ever thought, “Good moms never lose their temper… Good moms always put their kids first… Good moms don’t mess up,” then you know the pressure of the invisible motherhood rulebook. And if you’re parenting teens right now? Those rules feel downright impossible.

In this episode of Root to Ring: A Resilient Parenting Podcast, we’ll pull apart why those standards don’t work, and offer a new, rooted way forward.

We’ll unpack:

• Why the “good mom rules” set you up to fail

• The cycle of shame → reactivity → disconnection

• What “good enough parenting” really means (hint: 30% is enough!)

• 3 new anchors for being a rooted mom this season

• How calm and connection become your leadership tools

Key Belief Shifts:

• You’re not behind, you’re rebuilding.

• Calm isn’t your personality. It’s your practice.

• Good moms don’t parent perfectly, they parent presently.

Quotes to Remember:

“A good mom isn’t perfect. She’s present.”

“Calm is a skill. Connection is leadership.”

“Good moms repair when they rupture.”
