Let’s be real—parenting isn’t just about raising kids; it’s about surviving the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood while still trying to hold onto who you are. In this episode, I sit down with parent coach and comic relief queen Juliet Jansen to talk about what it actually looks like to mother in 2025—when you’re not only trying to meet your kid’s needs, but your own needs, dreams, and identity too.

We talk about how parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all, how traditional “mom advice” often misses the mark, and what it really takes to create peace inside your home (hint: it starts with you). Juliet shares her refreshingly real “PEACE” method and gets into the nitty-gritty of practical expectations, power struggles, and communication breakdowns—not just with your kids, but with yourself. This convo is part strategy, part therapy, and all permission slip.

If you've ever cried in your pillow, questioned your parenting, or just wanted to disappear for 24 hours (or a week 🙃), this one’s for you. It's not about being a perfect mom—it’s about being a whole human while being a mom.

What we cover:

• Juliet’s PEACE framework: Practical Expectations & Communicate Effectively
• Why regulating your own emotions is the parenting superpower no one talks about
• The real reason “mom guilt” isn’t actually real (this one’s gonna blow your mind)
• How to stop the power struggles and make parenting feel less like a battle
• Why holding onto your identity is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids

Tune in for an honest, funny, and deeply affirming conversation that will leave you feeling lighter, more equipped, and totally seen.
