This week I talk about something that is going to happen to the majority of moms. Something that it is best to be prepared for. 

In this episode, I talk about realizing that our kids pick up on some of our not so great habits and how it can cause us to rethink how we approach things. 

In this episode, I confess that I've dropped the ball on having my kids do chores. 

In this episode, I talk about the minefield that is friendship when you have kids. 

In this episode, I talk about the myth of maternal instinct and the idea that being a woman means you have to be a mom. 

I'm not good at hosting parties. Want to know why? Take a listen and see. 

My ten-year old's life of crime began in preschool. She knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to take it when you're not looking. 

In this episode I talk about kids who have trouble with nonverbal communication and social cues. Sometimes, there is more going on than just having an awkward kid. 

What do you do if your kid doesn't have any friends? How do you navigate such a tricky situation?

In this episode, I talk about my lack of purpose and how it was made even more difficult by becoming a mom. 

In this episode, I reveal the ins and outs of driving a minivan, aka the mom-mobile. Is it really a vehicle inspired by the devil to degrade moms? Or am I just way to self-involved? 

In this episode, I talk about my issue with telling other moms that it just gets harder as kids get older. It is something that I would like to see shift in our mom culture.

In this episode, I share a recent experience with the 12 year old where my choice was to dig in or walk away. 

Do you often feel pressure around the holidays to do all the things, even the ones that don't bring you joy? Will you child grow up to be a well-adjusted adult if you don't have an elf-on-the-shelf? I hope so, otherwise my kids are in trouble. 

In this episode, I recount a recent time when I was a jerk to my kids and talk about what we as moms can do when that happens. 

In this episode, I plan to talk about deep things and end up talking about how self-centered I can be sometimes and how that doesn't really work as a mom. 

In this first episode of I Might Not Be The Worst, I talk about my fears in becoming a mom and the negative stories about motherhood that affected me. I also let you know the three things that helped me begin to change those stories and see myself in a different way. 

In this episode, I explore the idea that seeing your baby for the first time should fill you with a euphoric feeling of love unlike anything you've ever felt before. But...what if it doesn't?
