Most people think I’m naturally patient, endlessly calm, and somehow immune to yelling or losing it with my kids. But the truth is—I’m not a superwoman.

I simply built habits that support me, so I can show up as the parent I want to be.

In this episode, I’m sharing the five life-changing habits I’ve practiced over the years that help me stay grounded, connected, and present with my children… even on really hard days.

This Episode You’ll Hear About:

Weekly Date Nights With My Husband Why prioritizing connection with your partner creates emotional stability at home—and how being aligned as a couple directly influences the way your kids listen and feel safe.

Sitting Down to Eat (Mindfully!) A small but powerful habit that reconnects you to your body, slows down your nervous system, and brings more presence into your parenting.

Limiting Social Media Time How intentional boundaries around scrolling help you avoid dopamine crashes, stay motivated, and stay genuinely present for your kids.

Starting Every Morning With Yoga My 20–30 minute morning ritual that has transformed the way I feel physically and emotionally—and why moving your body makes you a more patient parent.

Reading Something Inspirational Every Day The habit that carried me through years of homeschooling, difficult moments, and self-doubt… and why daily inspiration keeps your parenting aligned with your values.

The Big Message You don’t need to force yourself to yell less. Instead, ask: What isn’t working for me in this moment? What support do I need?” When you care for yourself, you naturally show up differently for your kids.

And remember: these habits are done imperfectly. There is no perfection in parenting—only growth, compassion, and the willingness to begin again.
