The Momset Podcast

2027 Return to You Retreat Group is OPEN to ten women who are ready for redemption. Apply Here :)

This episode has 3 key takeaways if you want to walk out of a humiliating experience and shine in the light of redemption!

Back in 2018, your girl was as controlling as it gets and adding sleep deprivation, family conflict, new-mom-whiplash, while balancing marriage... I'll tell you I struggled.

My first Thanksgiving as a mom was a pit in my struggle. I was tasting the fruits of my character and it was. not. good.

Now, here I am in 2026, LIVING redemption. I'm chill as a cucumber, excited to contribute and most ready to be accepting and loving. Why?! Because of 2018 Thanksgiving.

I hope this story touches you and guides you to be the woman YOU want to be this holiday season and every day after, becuase you can. Lord knows WE CAN.

Life is full of heavy loads to lift and we can choose to be someone that adds weight to the load with "you're doing it wrong" or someone that teaches better form to lift the load and get's to say "you're doing it!"

apply for Return to You, my next retreat group, here. It's time to be who you want to be in 2027!

Family values, daily responsibilities, emotional regulation, social skills and so much more require GOOD FORM. If we have bad form we end up getting hurt trying to do it or convincing ourselves we can't do it at all. Both of which can be avoided!

Take this new perspective into your motherhood and marriage. Let's prioritize the form we have to lift heavy things.

with love and joy,

Tessa

"What did his training look like?"

"How did you know when to stop the race?"

"What does it look like to balance individual goals with marriage, children and work?"

We may not have all of the answer, but we do have our own and can honestly say we are living a life we love and want this joy for more families!

Planning 2027 has already been so fun to pray for what's ahead and 2026 did a dang good job teaching us the kind of lessons that it takes to get there.

Thank you for being here!

I've been married for 12 years and have had many incredible experiences with my husband. I told him on the trail that "this is my favorite thing we have ever done just the two of us" outside of him and I experiencing the births of our children!

Join Marcus and I as we share the whole story and what was going on behind the scenes of the Kodiak 100!

A year ago my husband rarely wanted to go on our 2 mile family walk and now he finished 71 miles of a 100 mile race HE SIGNED UP FOR. It still brings my hands up in praise!!

Yes, we will be back next year and up for whatever is in store!

Thank you for being here. You, as a listener and beyond, have given me the opportunity to be home with my family and experience a life greater than I could have dreamed. Thank you for listening, engaging and trusting me along the way.

Next time we are doing a Q&A! Drop your follow up questions in the comments and we will answer them next episode.

all my best and sincerity,

Tessa

It has been an exhaustive season for me and I'd go through it again to learn what I have from it. This episode is a little different giving you a more real and raw look into where the "all or nothing" mindset was showing up for me, and what I personally did about it.

What I mentioned in the show:

Keeping authority over YOURSELF is the most freeing way to live that I have experienced and now I am taking your hand and coaching you through it.

This episode explores the five pillars of your inner world to keep authority over and a writing exercise you can do (caution: it's binge worthy) repeatedly to establish greater authority over your thoughts and feelings.

Get your ticket today!

You'll get my 3 layer "I am" statement framework to create one with me and leave the Workshop ready to face every circumstance as who you WANT to be- regardless of how you were raised or what you've done previously. You're that girl NOW.

It's 7:30 pm on a Sunday. Everyone's past their limit. The words are loaded on the tip of your tongue — and you're one breath away from saying the thing you'll regret.

Here's the truth I learned on my knees cleaning up baseball cards: you don't need more patience in that moment. You need a skill. Patience isn't something you're born with or dig deep and find — it's the byproduct of skills you practice until they kick in on their own.

This week I'm handing you the exact skill that saved me: the Redirect skill. Come find out how one question stopped the words before they left my lips — and how to make it kick in for you, too.

🎧 Press play, then take this week's one step: before you speak, weigh your words through "What would I feel and think if God said that to me?"

💛 Doors to Strong Minded Mother open this October. Tap "be first to know" 👉 so you don't miss it.

Do you care more about being free or being right? We are about to find out in this episode!

First, please leave a review of the podcast if it's been helpful for you. I'd love to hear how you're living the work with me over the years.

This episode walks through three doors that tend to be defended even if they are harmful to our freedom in life.

Marriage, Children and Self

I'll show you how to reframe each one to step back into freedom, even when you occasionally slip into "fight to be right" autopilot.

By the end you'll love to be free more than you love to be right and notice a weight lifted from your mind and body as you go through the rest of your day.

Love you BIG friend!

Tessa

"I've tried" is where dreams quietly go to die.

Underneath the excuses is a self-worth and self-trust issue — and today I'm giving you two simple steps to rebuild both.

A friend-to-friend, warm, honest episode about facing why you don't have what you want yet and making sure this pattern ends for good.
