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

Do you ever feel angry when you get into a disagreement with a friend or family member? It feels like no matter what you say or do, things don’t change and you just feel yourself getting angry. You want to feel calm, cool, and collected, but it feels like your emotions are pulling you in a completely different way. If you’re not getting the results you want, you may need to look at the toxic stories you are probably telling yourself. 

In this podcast episode, we share the 3 toxic conversations we often tell ourselves that make us angry and how to stop them and get out of the negativity loop that is keeping us from getting moving forward and getting the end results we want.

No matter where you live, or your religious or political views, the odds are good that most parents share one common goal...

we don’t want our kids to be A-holes. 

Join us in this podcast episode as we sit down with science journalist, columnist for The New York Times, and author of the book How To Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes, Melinda Wenner Moyer. Melinda is a mom to two boys, living in New York’s Hudson Valley. She digs into the science on raising kind, compassionate, worldly kids and translate it for a lay audience.

We have a lively conversation about why it may not be a good thing to parent the exact same way as your friends or family do, why it’s good to make mistakes as a parent, how contingent love can raise an a-hole, and what you can do to raise your kids to be kind and compassionate.

Heads up: This is a parents-only podcast episode. The kids probably don’t want to listen to this one.

In this podcast episode, we’re getting down and dirty and being very frank in our conversation with our guest Amy Lang, MA, who’s been a sexual health educator for over 25 years. 

We talk about the discomfort so many of us feel when talking to our kids not only about sex, but sexuality, masturbation, and everything else in between. 

Amy gives us some amazing tips on how to start those uncomfortable (but necessary) conversations with your kids about sex, what you can start doing to now to protect your child online, and why it’s important to make a mind-shift from negative prevention to intellectual preparation.

As women, sometimes we feel like we can’t say “no” to others in fear of being resented. But that’s not true! It's hard to say no, it's hard to set those healthy boundaries, but they're definitely necessary for our own well-being.

In this podcast episode, we push back against that uncomfortable feeling when we have to say “no” to a request (typically from our family or friends) and give you a super easy framework to follow (it’s only 3 steps) to be confident in your boundaries and to let you know that you’re allowed to say “No”, and NOT feel guilty about it!
