The “Good Mom” Myth: How PDA Parents Can Break Free from Holiday Judgment and Comparison


Listen Later

The holidays hit PDA parents harder - and it’s not your fault.
In this episode, we break down why judgment, comparison, overwhelm, and the “good mom” myth intensify this time of year - and what’s really happening inside your nervous system and your child’s.

You’ll learn:
 • why your child’s overwhelm triggers your own
 • how identity friction fuels shame
 • why holiday environments activate threat states
 • the parallel process between your nervous system and theirs
 • how comparison becomes a safety strategy
 • the difference between belief work and crisis work
 • how SOOTHE supports in-the-moment connection


And if you already know you want deeper support, the 12-week January program  (created by Robyn Gobbel) is the next step - where we get deeper, turn these nervous system tools into lived, everyday practice and gain parenting confidence.
Registration opens this week!  Limited enrollment.
