No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Mental Load & Parenting Tips for Moms

Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away. You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch. So you ask again, and your kids tells you that they will do it in a minute. Then you come in the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself. 

If this sounds familiar to you, then you will love this episode. It was made just for you! We will share practical ways you can keep your cool as well as strategies you can use in the moment and after it, using our simple 5-step process: P.E.A.C.E.

It’s estimated that about 32% of American teens have anxiety. Are we surprised? Our kids have a lot on their plates: getting good grades, social media, and everything involved with that, navigating and maintaining friendships. And it gets even more difficult when you add anxiety to the mix. And as moms, we often feel like it’s our job to take it all on, support, and even fix it all for our kids. Guess what? You’re not supposed to be your child’s therapist! You can’t fix it all.

In this episode, we are talking with Regine Galanti. She’s the founder of Long Island Behavioral Psychology, a private practice in NY, and Author of Anxiety Relief for Teens  her newest book, When Harley Has Anxiety. She specializes in helping kids, teens, and parents manage anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specifically giving them tools to help them face their fears.

We share all the fears we have as parents about our kids' anxiety, how our own beliefs can affect how we view anxiety in our kids and what we can actually do to help our kids if we feel they’re struggling with anxiety.

When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? 

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids. She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors!

We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.

Let's face it, caregivers have been the biggest unsung heroes of our time. Working mothers have had to juggle career responsibilities with providing for their families, often at the expense of their own well-being and mental health.

It's high time that companies take notice of this silent sacrifice made by women as caregivers and start making real change in the way society values care work.

In this podcast episode we are joined by Blessing Adesiyan, the Founder of Mother Honestly, a complete ecosystem reshaping the future of women and families at home and in the workplace. Prior to founding Mother Honestly, she spent 15+ years in Fortune 100 companies such as Microsoft, HP, Cargill, PepsiCo, DuPont, and BASF where she built operational excellence framework across the United States, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia.

We discuss why the corporate world doesn’t understand how to effectively support employee caregivers, especially working moms, how women are the biggest gatekeepers when it comes to caring for children and protecting men's time, and what we can start doing now to make real change in the way society values care work.

Raising teens can be a daunting task for any parent, but it doesn't have to be. With the right guidance and tools, you can raise your teen with positive mental health and follow your “Parent Compass”.

We recently sat down with Cindy Muchnick, M.A., and Jenn Curtis, M.S.W., authors of the book, The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World. They help tweens and teens navigate middle and high school culminating in the college admissions process.

We talked about what teens are currently going through both in high school and as they prepare to transition into that next phase of life (outside their parental home), and now we're going to provide you with tips on how to find and use your “parent compass” to foster positive mental well-being and emotional resilience in your teen.
