Modern Mom Probs

This week on Modern Mom Probs, two of the funniest, straight-shooting women on social media join the show. Cailtin Murray, creator of Big Time Adulting and host of the Big Time Adulting podcast and Nicki Marie, creator of TikTok’s Nicki Unplugged bring their honest, no nonsense (ok, maybe a little nonsense) approach to modern motherhood and the social media pressures we face. In this lively conversation, they get honest by calling BS on the whole thing. 

If you follow them on social media, you’re going to love the big New England Mom Energy Caitlin and Nicki bring to this episode!

Where do people pleasers come from? Why do they do it? What’s their origin story?

Therapist and founder of “Parenting with Perspectacles” Maggie Nick joins the show to explain how patterns of low self-worth show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, and controlling behaviors. She shares how parents need to put on their “Perspectacles” to catch themselves when they are accidentally and unintentionally falling into the way they were parented and making their children feel ashamed when they act out their stress or express their emotions. 

With the right “Perspectacles” on, parents can start meeting their children where they are developmentally and physiologically to make them feel seen and loved, no matter their behavior. 

Sometimes in order to parent our children, we need to reparent ourselves. If you’re a people pleaser or a recovering one, you need to listen to this conversation!
