Ever found yourself tiptoeing around someone else’s emotions just to keep things calm? In this episode, I share a story where a grumpy mood from my husband set off a full-blown nervous system response, and how I stopped making it about him and started noticing MYSELF. We talk about how I realized I wasn’t a powerless little girl anymore, broke the pattern of emotional caretaking I learned as a child, which childhood survival patterns sneak into your marriage, and why speaking up without exploding gave my whole family a new model for communication.

Highlights

• The moment I realized I was reacting like a child NOT a partner.

• How perfectionism shows up as emotional over-functioning.

• What it means when your body responds before your brain does.

• The ripple effect when you speak up WITHOUT blowing up.

• Why I used to think keeping the peace meant staying small.

• How I gave my kids permission to stop tiptoeing around emotions.

What happens when the default parent finally stops doing it all? In part two of this conversation, we dive into what changed in my home when I stopped trying to do everything and gave my family a chance to step up.

Highlights

• What my son said after I got better that nearly made me cry.

• The invisible work moms do that no one talks about.

• Why “doing it all” robs your family of the chance to grow.

• How I unintentionally modeled burnout as a lifestyle.

• What changed when I gave my family space to figure it out.

As moms, we’re always the ones taking care of everybody else when they get sick – but who takes care of us? In this episode, I share what happened when I got sick and actually let myself rest (for the first time). We talk about how I used to spiral into cycles of guilt, fear, and shame any time I couldn’t “keep it all together.” We dive into why it’s so hard for perfectionist moms to slow down, how to stop equating your worth with your to-do list, and why over-functioning is one of the biggest forms of self-sabotage. Tune in for the unexpected joy of waking up to a house that didn’t fall apart without you.

Highlights

• The mental load of being sick when you’re the default parent.

• Why perfectionist moms struggle to let go of control.

• What I used to believe about “earning” rest.

• What changed when I stopped equating rest with being lazy.

• The ONE sentence I repeat when I feel guilty about resting.

Can your daughter really be confident and still feel excluded? In this episode, we talk about how your child developing a strong identity can actually make some social situations harder. Jen shares what she’s learned from raising a teenage daughter who knows who she is, and how being secure in yourself often repels people who aren’t. We talk about how identity can feel isolated in a world where everyone’s trying to fit in, the difference between confidence and performative confidence, and why doing the “right thing” for your kid doesn’t always feel good at the moment. 

Highlights

• What true confidence looks like in teenage girls.

• What happens when your secure kid doesn’t fit into the “group”.

• Why confidence doesn’t always look like popularity.

• The difference between fitting in versus belonging.

• Why I believe identity is the most valuable inheritance you can give your kids.

Get ready to say YES to more joy and rediscover that part of you that still wants to have fun.

Highlights

• How to step away from “just mom” mode and choose joy.

• Why I almost didn’t say yes to laser tag.

• The moment I realized I hadn’t felt that alive in years.

Have you ever been called out for acting completely different in one part of your life — and not even realized it? That just happened to me… in the car. In this episode, I share the moment my daughter gently (but honestly) pointed out that I don’t exactly practice what I preach when I’m behind the wheel. We talk about the blind spots we don’t realize we have, how victim mentality can sneak into our most routine moments, and what it takes to break behaviors we’ve been unknowingly carrying for years.

Highlights

• The comment from my daughter that totally called me out.

• Why I always felt “personally attacked” in traffic.

• How internal dialogue kept me stuck in victim mode.

• ONE shift that changed my entire vibe on the road.

• Why we all need safe people who lovingly call us out.

Dinner shouldn’t be this emotional — but for so many moms, it is. In this episode, I share a hilariously honest moment where I sat my family down and finally admitted I HATE making dinner (yep, I really said it!). We talk about how the emotional and mental load of feeding your family can build resentment, how mom martyr mode sneaks in, and how a simple family meeting shifted the dynamic in my home. Get ready to stop equating feeding your family with being a “good mom” and reclaim your time and energy. 

Highlights

• Why I opened a family meeting with “I hate making dinner.”

• The resentment I didn’t realize I was carrying behind the dinner routine.

• How I finally let my kids in on the mental load.

• What happened when I stopped being the default cook.

• The belief that feeding = good mom (and how I’m changing that).

You know that moment when life gets chaotic and the first thing you cancel is… YOURSELF? That’s what we call Martyr Mom Mode — when we drop our workouts, routines, and even our joy, while still managing everything for everyone else. In this episode, we talk about why we women tend to downplay our own needs during “so-called crises,” how to spot those old patterns sneaking back in, and what it actually feels like when your personal growth starts to stick.

Highlights

• What Martyr Mom Mode sounds like in real life (hint: it’s sneaky)!

• How I almost let a family health scare and a big life transition derail my progress.

• Why my “cry shower” felt totally different this time.

• Why you feel uncomfortable even when you’re doing the right thing.

• How to rewire your brain to stop self-sabotaging during times of stress.

• A question every mom should ask when life starts feeling “too full”.

Ever catch yourself getting a compliment and instantly deflecting what they said? In this episode, I share a vulnerable story about how I totally minimized my D1 volleyball experience right in front of my son, while Jenn helps me unpack why we fall into this crazy self-sabotage. We'll walk you through how to recognize those patterns of playing small, validate your own accomplishments by looking at the facts, and give you a killer strategy for accepting compliments that actually feels authentic. If you've ever caught yourself saying "oh, it's not a big deal" instead of owning it, or if you want to model a healthier way of responding to compliments, this episode is your new best friend. 

Highlights

• Get to the root of what causes you to downplay achievements.

• How to look at the facts vs. your knee jerk reaction of deflecting.

• How to be more intentional and confident with your response to compliments.

• Ways to model self-respect for our kids (and what I did AFTER downplaying an accomplishment in front of my son).

• How to change the pattern of self-minimizing to increase confidence.
