Are you constantly snapping at your kids… and then immediately thinking, "I'm a bad mom"?

There are two thoughts that quietly destroy a Catholic mom's interior peace:

• "This shouldn't be happening."

• "I'm a bad mom."

In this episode, we break down what I call the Mad Bad Mom model — how resistance turns into anger, and anger turns into shame.

You'll learn:

• Why resisting reality creates instant stress in your body

• Why your kids actually should misbehave sometimes

• How anger is usually sitting on top of fear

• How to repair after you've reacted poorly

• Why self-hatred is not holy — and not helpful

• How to love yourself while still growing in virtue

Your child hitting their sibling. Your teenager rolling their eyes. You forgetting something important.

These moments are not proof that you're failing.

They are parenting moments.

And you do not have to live the next 20 years of motherhood disliking yourself.

You are not a bad mom. You are a mom who is learning.
