In this episode, Dr. Dunni explores mothers' profound role as teachers and influencers in shaping their children's lives. We also discuss how mothers are often a child's first educator, imparting foundational skills like communication, empathy, and problem-solving, often through simple, everyday interactions. The episode also highlighted how their influence extends beyond practical knowledge, instilling values, ethics, and resilience that guide children through life's challenges. We emphasised the ripple effect of a mother's guidance, shaping not just individual lives but entire communities. Whether through active teaching, modelling behaviour, or providing emotional support, mothers create environments where children can thrive.

In this episode, Dr. Dunni addresses the overwhelming workload that many mothers face. She emphasizes the importance of mindset, encouraging mothers to shift from feelings of inadequacy to recognising their capabilities. Dr. Dunni introduces practical tools for managing time and tasks, including the Pomodoro technique and the time management matrix, to help mothers prioritise their responsibilities effectively. She also discusses the significance of setting SMART goals and the Pareto principle, urging listeners to focus on the 20% of tasks that yield 80% of the results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace a positive mindset by transitioning from thoughts of "I can't" to "I can." Use the word "yet" to acknowledge that while you may not know how to do something now, you are on a journey to learn and improve. Utilize a time management matrix to distinguish between urgent and important tasks. Focus on what truly matters and recognize that not everything that is asked of you is essential. Implement the Pomodoro technique to enhance productivity. Work in focused 25-minute intervals followed by 5-minute breaks, allowing time for both urgent tasks and self-care activities. Set clear, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Apply the Pareto principle (80-20 rule) by identifying the 20% of actions that will yield 80% of the results. Focus on these key actions to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in achieving your goals. BEST MOMENTS "If we have the right tools, we have the right mindset, and we have the right reasons behind all the things that we do." "Where your energy and where your focus goes, energy flows."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni explores the concept of drive and what keeps us moving forward, especially in the face of challenges. She shares personal anecdotes, including a relatable analogy of driving a manual car uphill, to illustrate the persistence required in life. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of setting clear, SMART goals and understanding the deeper emotional "why" behind them. She discusses the significance of building positive habits, cultivating self-discipline, and celebrating small wins as essential components of maintaining motivation. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to have a clear and specific goal to work towards. This helps in maintaining focus and prevents distractions from multiple objectives. Knowing the "why" behind your goals is essential. This emotional connection can provide the motivation needed to pursue your aspirations, even in challenging times. Developing positive physical, mental, and emotional habits is key to maintaining drive and persistence. These habits can help you navigate challenges and keep you aligned with your goals. Cultivating self-discipline is necessary for achieving long-term goals. It involves doing what may not be enjoyable now to reap the benefits later. Acknowledging and celebrating every small achievement can boost motivation and reinforce positive behavior, making it easier to stay committed to your goals. BEST MOMENTS "When we portray to ourselves, we're able to show our children and they are able to become better people." "Having that clear goal is so important. If you have too many goals, it divides your attention." "Sometimes those deep, dark, painful emotions can be amazing ways to bring out your authentic why." "Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured."

In this episode Dr. Dunni delves into the essential theme of safety for children, exploring the various dimensions of physical, emotional, and psychological safety that are crucial for their development. Drawing from her experiences as a family and lifestyle medicine doctor and an empowerment coach for mothers, she shares practical tips on creating a child-friendly home environment, fostering secure attachments, and promoting emotional well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Safety is a fundamental need for both adults and children, encompassing physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. Creating a safe environment allows children to thrive and explore their surroundings confidently. To ensure physical safety at home, parents should child-proof their environment by using furniture padding, electrical socket covers, stair gates, and keeping dangerous items out of reach. Emotional safety is crucial for children as they develop attachments to their caregivers. Open communication, validation of feelings, and being a reliable presence help children feel secure and understood, allowing them to express themselves freely. Psychological safety involves addressing children's thoughts and feelings. Encouraging mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing exercises, helps calm their nervous systems and fosters a sense of well-being. Allowing children to express themselves and showing appreciation through gratitude can enhance their sense of safety. BEST MOMENTS "Safety is one of the key factors we require for our survival and our ability to thrive in this world." "Sometimes children, because of all the rules and the lack of secure attachment with the person at school, they comply with everything they are told to do." "When your children are younger, sometimes they do not have a language to communicate how they feel, but they have a means of doing it in a nonverbal way." "The ability to clear the space is so important and it actually also helps you as a mother so you can think clearly." "If we do not give them attention, somebody outside will go give them attention, and it might be the wrong person."

In this episode, Dr Dunni, an award-winning mom empowerment coach and family medicine doctor, shares an inspiring story about a seed that transforms its painful, dark experience into a journey of growth and fulfilment. Drawing parallels between the seed's struggle and the challenges mothers face, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging feelings of darkness, shame, and pain as opportunities for introspection and personal development. Dr Dunni encourages mothers to communicate their emotions to their children, fostering an environment where both can learn to navigate difficult feelings together. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just like a seed that experiences darkness and discomfort before it grows, individuals, especially mothers, can find strength and potential in their challenging moments. Mothers need to communicate their feelings of pain, shame, or fear to themselves and their children. This openness helps children understand that it's okay to express their emotions and fosters a supportive environment for emotional growth. Mothers often prioritize the needs of their children over their own. Recognizing the importance of self-nourishment is crucial for personal well-being and enables mothers to be more present and engaged with their children. In times of loss or despair, it's essential to reflect on one's identity and potential. Understanding who you are beyond your roles and accomplishments can lead to deeper self-awareness and resilience. Children learn by observing their parents. By demonstrating how to process emotions and respond to challenges rather than react impulsively, mothers can teach their children valuable coping skills and emotional intelligence. BEST MOMENTS "In that cold, dark, uncomfortable situation, the seed started to cry out for help. But nobody heard it." "The richest place in the world is the graveyard. Why? Because a lot of people have died carrying a lot of potential to the graves with them." "When we are nourishing others, we feel replenished, we feel happy. But we have not placed as much value on nourishing ourselves." "Sometimes when people say, who are you, we start to think about all our qualifications and our accomplishments. But who are you talks about who you really are." "Every mom is a super mom, not because of the super things that she does, but because of the super powers she possesses within."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni, a family and well-being coach, delves into the critical topic of sleep and its impact on mothers and their children. Dr Dunni shares her experiences with sleep deprivation during medical school and motherhood, offering practical strategies to optimize sleep for mothers and their little ones. Dr. Dunni discusses the various stages of a child's development—from newborns to teenagers—and provides tailored advice for each phase, including establishing routines, managing screen time, and creating a calming bedtime environment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sleep is crucial for both mothers and their children. Establishing a consistent sleep routine can significantly improve overall well-being and energy levels. For new mothers, expressing breast milk can allow for better sleep. This enables partners or caregivers to help with nighttime feedings. Ensuring the bedroom is dark, quiet, and equipped with soothing sounds (like white noise) can help mothers and children sleep better. As children grow, it's important to encourage them to self-soothe. This fosters independence and helps them learn to settle down on their own. Reducing exposure to screens, especially in the evening, is essential for promoting good sleep hygiene. BEST MOMENTS "Sleep is an important aspect of our lives. It's an important thing that we all need to cherish." "I discovered that coffee does not work for me, because I tried all manners of coffee to keep awake, but I just couldn't." "As the children get older, yes, you will have more respite." "It's important that you don't give up on such days. It's so important that you don't let the pain, the challenge, the tiredness, weigh you down." "Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength."

Del shares her journey from a successful corporate career to self-employment, highlighting the importance of balancing work and family life, especially while raising a child with autism and dyslexia. The conversation delves into the significance of managing emotional energy, taking actionable steps toward business goals, and the power of self-belief. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has a unique path, and it's important to recognize that your experiences, including challenges, contribute to your growth and success. Prioritising emotional well-being and energy management is crucial for maintaining motivation and consistency in both personal and professional life. Having a plan is essential, but implementing that plan through actionable steps is what leads to progress. Start with one small step at a time, and don't be afraid to learn from failures along the way. For mothers, balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal ambitions can be challenging. It's important to carve out time for both family and personal goals. Recognizing and nurturing the unique abilities of children, especially those with special needs, can lead to their flourishing. Emphasizing strengths rather than focusing solely on challenges can foster a positive environment for growth. BEST MOMENTS "The sooner you start doing that, rather than making all these big grand plans, which we do need, but it's about taking action." "The caring responsibility falls more on the mother... If things go great and the child is awesome, it's the father's child." "Running your own business is the best self-development journey you can ever, ever wish to go on." "You have to make sacrifices and work out what time you have available... that initial startup period when you are creating and building a business is intensive." "We need to ensure that our children are learning very good practices from us."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni, the Mom Empowerment Coach, encourages mothers to stop diminishing their achievements and embrace their successes, no matter how small. She discusses the detrimental effects of using the word "just" to downplay one's identity and accomplishments and emphasizes the importance of celebrating wins to boost mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Dr. Denise shares insights on overcoming risk aversion, permitting oneself to take action and the significance of finding supportive communities that foster growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mothers should avoid using the word "just" to downplay their accomplishments. Recognizing and celebrating achievements. Taking calculated risks can lead to significant rewards. It's important to assess personal risk tolerance and push beyond comfort zones to achieve goals. Mothers often feel the need to seek permission from others before taking action. It's essential to prioritize personal needs and decisions, allowing oneself the freedom to act. Writing down goals and creating a structured plan helps in organizing thoughts and actions. Engaging with growth-minded communities can provide encouragement and recognition for achievements. Sharing successes in a supportive environment fosters motivation and helps combat feelings of inadequacy. BEST MOMENTS "One word that we use, especially to diminish ourselves, is the word just." "When we celebrate our wins, no matter how small, we give ourselves an extra boost mentally, emotionally, and even physically." "I have to be my best salesperson. Hence the reason why I tell people what I have achieved." "When you are in a supportive community, you share your achievements, and they cheer you on." "You can't sit down and say, oh, I can see myself as the best whatever you are in your field and do nothing about it."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni explores the myth of perfection, particularly in the context of motherhood. She emphasizes that striving for perfection is unrealistic and encourages listeners to define their version of "perfect" by accepting reasonable and unreasonable flaws. Dr. Dunni shares personal anecdotes and practical strategies for self-improvement, such as dedicating just 10 minutes a day to personal growth activities like journaling or walking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Striving for perfection is unrealistic and often leads to unnecessary guilt and self-criticism. It's important to redefine what "perfect" means personally, acknowledging that flaws are a natural part of life. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your growth. Set realistic goals and compare your progress to your past self rather than others, as everyone has a unique journey. Begin your self-development journey with small, manageable steps. Dedicate just 10 minutes daily to activities that enhance your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being, such as journaling or walking. Incorporate your children into your self-development activities. This not only sets a positive example for them but also creates a supportive environment where both you and your children can learn and grow together. Learn to say no to avoid overcommitting yourself. Establishing boundaries is essential for maintaining your well-being and ensuring that you have the time and energy to focus on your personal growth. BEST MOMENTS "Being perfect is truly a myth... we need to create expectations that are realistic for ourselves and for those around us." "Perfect is... Please Expect Reasonable and unreasonable Flaws, Especially as I Continue Trying." "Your journey of self-development is like a marathon. It's not a sprint." "When you say no to something or to someone, you are saying yes to you." "You need a supportive community... people who would say, hey, I've got you, I see you, I hear you."

Today, Dr. Dunni delves into the theme of facing opposition in our lives, particularly for mothers. She emphasizes the importance of optimizing our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being when confronted with challenges, whether they arise from within or from external sources. Dr. Dunni introduces a practical framework called the "CALM" model, which guides listeners through the process of confirming their feelings, analyzing situations, laying out a plan, and managing their responses to the opposition. KEY TAKEAWAYS Opposition can be both internal and external. Internal opposition often manifests as self-doubt and identity crises, while external opposition can come from various sources, including family, friends, and societal pressures. To effectively love and support others, it is crucial to first love and accept oneself. This self-acceptance lays the foundation for healthy relationships with others, including children and partners. A practical approach to facing opposition involves the CALM model, which stands for Confirm how you feel, Analyze the situation, Lay out a plan, and Manage the implementation. Confirming one's feelings is essential for emotional health. Acknowledging emotions like anger, sadness, or frustration allows individuals to process their experiences rather than suppress them, preventing future emotional outbursts. When creating a plan to address opposition, it is important to remain flexible and have a backup plan. This adaptability ensures that individuals can navigate unexpected challenges and find solutions that work for them and others involved. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes you're pushing something that isn't quite strong and it seems to be pushing back." "Love your neighbour as yourself... it's only when you love yourself, you can love your neighbor." "Every mom is a super mom, not because of what they do, but who they are." "Face everything and rise." "When you face opposition, the best way forward will be backward."

Today, Dr. Dunni explores the delicate balance between career aspirations and family responsibilities. She shares her personal experiences as both a working and stay-at-home mother, highlighting the emotional and financial pressures that often compel mothers to continue working despite the challenges of childcare and career interruptions. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of creating harmony between work and home life, rather than striving for a strict balance, and encourages mothers to harness the energy derived from their love for their children to fuel their professional growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many mothers face the challenge of balancing their careers and motherhood, often feeling overwhelmed and drained as they try to juggle both responsibilities. The rising cost of living has made it necessary for many families to have dual incomes, which can force mothers to continue working even if they would prefer to stay at home. Childcare can be expensive and complicated, with situations where mothers still have to pay for services even when their children are unable to attend due to illness. Instead of striving for a strict balance between work and home life, mothers should aim for harmony, where both aspects complement each other and allow for personal and professional growth. Practicing gratitude for both home and work life can help mothers maintain a positive mindset, enabling them to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning rather than setbacks.

In this episode, Dr. Dunni shares valuable insights on the importance of taking moments to switch off, unplug, and reconnect with oneself. Drawing parallels between troubleshooting mechanical devices and self-care, she emphasizes the significance of being present in the journey of life. Dr. Dunni discusses the power of breath in calming oneself and shares practical breathing exercises to release stress and ground emotions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just like mechanical devices need to be switched off and restarted to function properly, mothers also need to take moments to unplug, withdraw, and retreat in order to recharge and be more effective. Avoid dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Embrace the present moment, enjoy the journey, and focus on personal growth and experiences. Deep breathing exercises can help in calming the mind, releasing stress, and grounding oneself. Breathing deeply and fully can have physiological and psychological benefits. Engage in self-development through reading books, listening to audiobooks, and seeking knowledge.

In this episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of coping with non-acceptance, exploring the feelings of being left out, ostracized, or secluded that many individuals experience at different stages of life. Drawing from personal experiences and psychological theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging emotions, showing self-compassion, and reaching out for support when faced with non-acceptance. Dr. Dunni also highlights the significance of setting realistic expectations, creating a sacred space for holistic well-being, and taking control of one's response to challenging situations. KEY TAKEAWAYS Acknowledge and express your feelings of non-acceptance, and show yourself compassion. Reach out to your support network or consider seeking professional help if needed. Set realistic expectations in relationships and prioritize your well-being by creating a sacred space. Focus on controlling your response to situations rather than trying to control others' actions. Embrace your unique journey and make the most of your one beautiful life. BEST MOMENTS "Have you ever felt left out, ostracized, secluded, or left in a different corner? That has been found over time to be a main problem that people experience at some point in their lives." "We long for belonging. We long for people to accept us. Even though there's some people that will think, oh, I don't care about what people say." "Acknowledge how you feel. Don't hide it. Don't repress it. Acknowledge it. Show yourself compassion." "You can't always meet people's expectations and they can't always meet yours either. So you need to set realistic expectations if you are to experience life in a way that you're not stressed out, neither are they."

In this episode, Dr. Dunn delves into the sensitive topics of shame and guilt that many mothers face. She shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate through feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of self-love, empathy, and sharing experiences to overcome shame and move forward with confidence. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, recognize their worth, and strive for personal growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to show empathy towards oneself and others, focusing on behaviour rather than identity. Don't keep experiences of shame a secret, as secrecy can make shame more powerful. Sharing with trusted individuals can help alleviate shame. Laughter can be a healing tool when dealing with shame, as long as it is done with self-compassion and not self-deprecation. Just like in the movie "Shawshank Redemption," moving through shame can be likened to crawling through a sewer - uncomfortable but necessary for rejuvenation and growth. Despite mistakes and criticism, it is essential to have faith, confidence, and belief in oneself as more than enough to overcome shame and move forward positively. BEST MOMENTS "We make mistakes. We're human after all, but in the midst of our mistakes, we are amazing mothers." "Shame in itself can be extremely dangerous... It does the exact opposite because now this person starts to feel I'm a failure." "Empathy, not sympathy, empathy. You see, don't feel sorry for yourself, but feel the love for yourself." "When you share, it takes a huge load off your chest. And it also depletes the power of shame." "You might have made mistakes. Yes, you might have been told you need to be ashamed. I want to tell you today that you can turn this around."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni discusses the idea of holding on versus letting go, drawing inspiration from the Disney movie Frozen. She considers the importance of analyzing one's goals, values, and emotions to determine whether to persist or release. Dr. Dunni encourages listeners to periodically assess their choices, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and the potential benefits of embracing change. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to regularly analyze the things we are holding onto to ensure they align with our goals, values, and purpose. Just like water, we should aim to be flexible and adaptable in our approach to holding onto or letting go of things in our lives. When letting go of something significant, it is important to allow ourselves to grieve as a natural part of the process. Incorporating regular analysis into our routine, whether quarterly, monthly, or weekly, can help us make informed decisions about what to hold onto or let go of. Taking the time to self-reflect and ask the right questions can lead to gaining clarity and making better decisions about what to hold onto or release. BEST MOMENTS "There are some people that are very keen when it comes to holding on to things, and that's brilliant. It's good. Some people call that persistence." "I made a mistake. And I know it's a very hard thing to say. Many people think that when you say I made a mistake, it means you're a failure." "There are some times that we hold on to certain things for more than five minutes. It could be five hours, five days, five weeks, five months, five years, five decades." "If you have a bird and you let it go, if it comes back to you, it's meant to be yours. If it doesn't, it was never meant to be."

In this episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the challenges faced by working mothers and the importance of self-care. She metaphorically compares mothers to generals leading their armies, emphasizing the need for mothers to protect themselves with an "armor" built from their life experiences. Dr. Dunni discusses the significance of recognizing and addressing internal struggles, encouraging mothers to see, ask, feel, and express deep love for themselves to determine if they are safe to remove their armor and prioritize their well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mothers are like generals leading their army of children, facing significant responsibilities and stress in balancing work and home life. Mothers have built up emotional armor over the years from various experiences, both positive and negative, to protect themselves and survive. Dr. Dunni outlines four steps for mothers to assess their emotional well-being: see yourself, ask yourself, truly feel, and express deep love. Expressing deep love for oneself leads to compassion and kindness, giving permission to take off the emotional armor and prioritize self-care. It is essential for mothers to share and spread the message of self-care and well-being with other mothers to create a supportive community. BEST MOMENTS "Many times we as mothers are like soldiers. We are the generals that are leading our army." "Our armor has been built on years of hurt, of pain, of shame, failure, successes, victories, celebrations, defeats." "It's okay for us to take that armor off, Because it's then that we are free from the heavy emotions, the painful experiences, the discomfort." "Seeing ourselves is the same and similar to our increasing self-awareness." "Love is a word that has been used to describe so many things... deep and pure love, that love that is self-giving."

In today's episode, Dr. Dunni delves into the topic of weaknesses and vulnerabilities. She discusses the common trend of feeling ashamed or apologizing for not knowing something, which can impact mental well-being and self-image. Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of reframing weaknesses as potential superpowers and encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities. She emphasizes the essence of authentic living and the importance of guiding children to identify and work on their weaknesses while celebrating their strengths. KEY TAKEAWAYS Recognize and embrace your weaknesses: It's important to acknowledge and accept your weaknesses as they can be turned into strengths with the right mindset. Vulnerability is a superpower: Expressing your weaknesses and vulnerabilities is a sign of strength and authenticity, not something to be ashamed of. Self-awareness is key: Identifying your weaknesses allows you to decide whether to improve, delegate, or accept them as they are. Celebrate diversity in strengths: Just like different animals excel in different environments, individuals have unique strengths and weaknesses that should be appreciated. Focus on personal growth: Instead of trying to be great at everything, focus on developing your strengths and managing your weaknesses effectively. BEST MOMENTS "It's okay not to know things. People perhaps see me and think, oh my goodness, she knows a lot about this. Not really." "How comfortable are you talking about your weaknesses? Now, don't get me wrong. I love to demonstrate my strength." "The ability to see your weakness and talk about it is where it's almost like you opening up your heart, knowing that yes, there will be some trolls, there will be some nasty people." "There's always room for improvement. And if you had all the resources, the time, the mentors, everybody, you can be great at everything, which is well, but that's, you probably need about three or four or five lifetimes to do that." "Our children are all different. And there's some of them that are fishes, some of them are monkeys, some of them are horses, and some of them are birds."

Dr. Dunni emphasizes the importance of not only feeling grateful but also expressing it through words, writing, and gestures. She discusses the science behind gratitude, citing studies that show its effects on brain structure, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. Dr. Dunni also encourages her listeners to incorporate gratitude practices, such as keeping a gratitude journal and teaching children the value of expressing gratitude. KEY TAKEAWAYS Expressing gratitude through words, actions, and gestures can significantly improve well-being. Keeping a gratitude journal, even with just a few lines, can lead to better sleep and a sense of wellness. Teaching children to express gratitude from a young age can positively impact their development. Gratitude can be expressed in various ways, such as through gifts, words of affirmation, or physical touch, based on individual preferences. Reflecting on and expressing gratitude for negative experiences can lead to personal growth and a shift in perspective. BEST MOMENTS "Gratitude is a special thing that we all have access to. But for some reason or the other, we forget those moments where we feel low, we feel down, we feel disempowered." "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." "Sometimes we need to think a bit deeply about what we're thankful for. Not just because it's a good thing to do, but because it actually improves our well-being." "There's a huge thing that we need to learn, that when we give gratitude, whether it's spoken, it's written, or even in the third way of I'm going to describe in a minute, you will experience the joy and the person you're giving it to experiences the joy." "Let us start to not just express gratitude in thoughts, words, and actions, but start to teach our children to express gratitude as well."

Dr. Dunni emphasizes the need for parents to be vigilant about their children's online activities, addressing concerns such as oversharing, interacting with strangers, and exposure to inappropriate content. KEY TAKEAWAYS Parents need to be actively involved in monitoring their children's online activities, especially on social media platforms, to ensure their safety and well-being. Parents should educate their children about the potential risks of oversharing personal information, interacting with strangers, and being exposed to inappropriate content online. It is crucial for parents to set limits on device usage, monitor the content their children access, and be willing to intervene when necessary to protect them from harmful influences. By teaching children to be responsible and resilient in their online interactions, parents can help them navigate the digital world safely and positively contribute to society. Encouraging a sense of community responsibility in safeguarding children can create a network of support where neighbors, friends, and other parents can help watch out for each other's children.

Dr. Dunni highlights the significance of self-care and fair communication, encouraging listeners to treat themselves and others with fairness.

Teach children about fairness in terms of self and others to create a ripple effect of peace in the world. BEST MOMENTS "Life is really unfair. Things happen that shouldn't really happen to good people." "Whenever you acknowledge your feelings and you kind of lean into them, you grow, you learn, you become a better version of yourself." "The more mothers out there that teach their children about fairness in terms of self and in terms of others, would help to create that ripple effect that kind of resonates through the world." "Whenever you're leaning to your feelings or you're acknowledging your feelings, know that there's sometimes you feel, okay, yeah, I think I've gotten the full grasp of how I feel."

Guilt is what makes us human, it's what makes us appreciate and recognize things we do or things we don't do that maybe we're meant to do, almost like a conscience for us." "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." "Communication is key. There are some times when maybe I couldn't make my children's school event or sports event. And for some reason I felt, oh gosh, I felt a lot of relief when I was able to say to my child, sweetheart, I'm so sorry." "The moment you first of all let go of that perfectionism, that's a very good step." "Be mindful of the things you focus on. If you are feeling that guilt, that's fine. Lean into it and learn from it."
