We've all been there—you see another mom doing something differently and you immediately start judging. Or maybe you’ve felt the heavy weight of other moms’ opinions on your parenting choices, your routines, or even the way you show up in your life. In today’s episode, Kristen dives into the unspoken truth about mom judgment: it’s everywhere, it affects us more than we realize, and it doesn’t just hurt the person being judged—it holds us back too. She shares how to recognize when you’re being triggered, how to release the fear of criticism, and how to create a culture of empathy and support—for yourself, for other moms, and for your kids.

What You Can Expect From This Episode:

• Why judging other moms—and letting others judge you—holds us back and impacts our children
• How to recognize your triggers and understand the role of your own insecurities
• The difference between judgment, constructive feedback, and helpful guidance
• Practical strategies to lead with compassion, empathy, and support, both for yourself and other moms

If this episode resonates with you, share it with another mom who could use a little permission to let go of judgment—and leave a review to help more moms find this conversation.
