In this episode, Tara welcomes Dr. Maggie Vaughan, award-winning Psychotherapist and head of youth transformation at tapouts. Their discussion delves into the pervasive issues of mom guilt and burnout, offering strategies and insights invaluable to modern moms.

Dr. Vaughan explores the impact of intensive parenting trends, which have placed an immense burden on mothers. The societal expectation that a mother's constant engagement is directly proportional to her child's success has led to an epidemic of stress and burnout. Mothers are feeling the pressure to dedicate every waking moment to their children, often at the expense of their own well-being.

She advises them to prioritize quality engagement with their children over quantity, suggesting that even ten minutes of focused time can significantly impact a child's development. This approach fosters secure attachments and nurtures independent, confident, and resilient children. She also emphasizes the necessity of self-care for mothers. It's crucial to recognize that children need well-adjusted parents. Sacrificing sleep, leisure time, and support to spend every moment with our kids can lead to exhaustion and stress that ultimately trickles down to them.

Dr. Vaughan highlights the benefits of seeking support, whether from family, friends, or programs like tapouts. tapouts offers life skills coaching that can alleviate some of the pressures of parenting, helping children learn critical life skills that benefit the entire family unit. Both Tara and Dr. Vaughan share personal experiences with the program and praise tapouts for its positive reinforcement and fun learning environment.
