We've spent a lot of time in this series looking at how gospel motherhood brings freedom—so what do we do when our freedom feels in conflict with another mom's preferences? (Oof. Tricky, right?) In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how we can honor moms who think differently than we do by asking questions while holding to our own convictions, being charitable, treating others the way we want to be treated, and prayerfully trusting the work of God in another mom's life. Loving one another well often requires patience and sacrifice, but by God's grace, we can learn to love other moms while standing unified around the most essential gospel truths.

„Frauen schmieden selten Netzwerke, sie züchten keine Nachfolgerinnen, formieren sich nicht zu Geheimorden. Nein, sie hoffen aus einem kämpferischen Gedanken heraus, den sie mit Emanzipation verwechseln, es als Einzelgängerin gegen die ganze Welt schaffen zu können.“ - Rumms. Das nennt Janine mal eine Aussage. Gelesen in der ZEIT (online), gestaunt, gegrübelt und: als Gesprächsstoff deluxe mit in diese Folge genommen. Was ist dran an dieser steilen These? Wieviel „Bitchiness“ gibt es unter Frauen - unter Kolleginnen, in der Familie, unter (besten) Freundinnen und vor allem: unter Müttern. Schluck. Stichwort „Mommy Wars“ oder auch „Mom Shaming: „Ach, deine Kleine schläft noch nicht durch?! Hmmmm. Unsere Charlotte macht das ja ganz toll….“ Toll, diese passiv aggressiven Sätze, oder? Wer hat sie nicht schon mal gehört…(?) Janine hat zu dem Thema einiges zu sagen - alles schon gehört, alles schon mal mitgemacht - und setzt in dieser Folge zu einem richtig dicken Deep Dive an. Mit ihr am Mikrophon: Resi Colter. Freundin ohne Bashing, TV-Kollegin, Interiorstylistin mit „Herz & Amore“, wie sie sagt, Stil- und Farbberaterin sowie -Liebhaberin.

"I think at various times — before you have the kid, after you have the kid — it's useful to sit down and think about: What do I want the shape of this to look like? What time do I want to be spending? Which hours? How do I want the weekends to look? The things that are going to shape the way your day-to-day goes, and the time you spend with your kids, and what you're doing in that time with your kids, and all of those things: you have an opportunity to deliberately plan them. And you can then feel like, 'I've thought about this, and this is a life that I want. This is a life that we're trying to craft for our family, for our kids.' And that is distinct from thinking you're doing a good job in every moment — which you can't achieve. But you can achieve, 'I'm doing this the way that I think works for my family.'" — Emily OsterIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Emily Oster — economist at Brown University, host of the ParentData podcast, and the author of three hugely popular books that provide evidence-based insights into pregnancy and early childhood.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.They cover:Common pregnancy myths and advice that Emily disagrees with — and why you should probably get a doula.Whether it's fine to continue with antidepressants and coffee during pregnancy.What the data says — and doesn't say — about outcomes from parenting decisions around breastfeeding, sleep training, childcare, and more.Which factors really matter for kids to thrive — and why that means parents shouldn't sweat the small stuff.How to reduce parental guilt and anxiety with facts, and reject judgemental “Mommy Wars” attitudes when making decisions that are best for your family.The effects of having kids on career ambitions, pay, and productivity — and how the effects are different for men and women.Practical advice around managing the tradeoffs between career and family.What to consider when deciding whether and when to have kids.Relationship challenges after having kids, and the protective factors that help.And plenty more.Producer and editor: Keiran HarrisAudio Engineering Lead: Ben CordellTechnical editing: Simon Monsour and Milo McGuireAdditional content editing: Katy Moore and Luisa RodriguezTranscriptions: Katy Moore

How do negative homophobic attitudes and behaviors affect the community? How can allies help minimize this issue for the community? Education and awareness can be the most powerful tools we have to support each other. Kollyn Conrad is the Founder and Executive Director of Publicly Private, a nonprofit organization offering supplies, support and empowerment to the LGBTQIA+ community and their families.

Today I am re-releasing the third solo podcast episode I ever recorded, this one on the topic of  the mommy wars. This is a topic I have written about extensively and shared about on other podcasts, as well, so I'm excited to be sharing about this topic again on this podcast! What She Chats about in Today's Episode: ~Defining the term "mommy wars" and covering a bit of its history ~How the mommy wars show up in our current culture ~8 problems with the mommy wars - 8 main ways in which they are doing damage in the church: *They are causing us to major on the minors, only to forget what is really important. *They are causing us to forget what the Word of God actually has to say on the topic of mothering (see Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4, Titus 2:4-5, Deuteronomy 6:6-7) as we're so focused on things of lesser importance. *They are destroying the Titus 2 model and its outreach (see Titus 2:3-5). *They are causing us to ignore (and even blaspheme!) the gospel. *They are hindering us from being able to walk by the Spirit and to walk by faith (see James 1:5, Isaiah 30:21, Psalm 139, and Galatians 5:16-18,22-23). *They are causing division and leading to our losing out on encouraging friendship and valuable fellowship (see Genesis 2:18, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Romans 14). *They are leading to our losing our salt and light and to our becoming poor examples of Christ (Matthew 5:13-16, John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 5:20, Colossians 3:12, 4:6, Ephesians 4:29, Romans 12:18). *They are burdening us with unnecessary and unbiblical expectations. ~How the enemy is using the mommy wars to keep our noses on the internet and social media rather than in Scripture ~1 Timothy 4:8's response to the mommy wars ~How the mommy wars have led to a subconscious misunderstanding of the gospel as we look to our mothering choices to provide us with our righteousness, perfection, and good standing before God ~The issues of the mommy wars as being issues of secondary importance and why we have no right to judge other mamas in these areas ~Viewing mommy wars topics in light of Romans 14 ~Romans 14 and why I do not publicly share our family's choices regarding things like vaccination ~Assuming the best of other mamas, realizing that every mama comes to the decision they make with a desire for what is best for their children  ~The wisdom of the world vs. the wisdom of God ~The long list of expectations we as moms have on our shoulders as to what "good moms" do  vs. the very short list God has for us ~And more!

We're moms and we all want what's best for our babies, right? If we truly believe that, then why aren't we more supportive of one another? We can't possibly know all the reasons behind a mom's decision to feed her baby- whether it's by breastfeeding, pumping, milk sharing, or formula feeding. And still we end up judging one another, unfairly. So, how can we change this? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dedicated in the memory of Dr. Dodi Tobin z"l. || A series of what amounts to recommendations by the sages for a healthy diet during pregnancy. Including how a mother's diet of etrogim made the child smell good, to the extent that the child was used to spice. Plus, more marriage politics around nursing, which are apparently eternal. Also, just how delectable all kinds of food, meat and wine and mushrooms and turnip and even pomegranates can be, to drive people beyond distraction in their desire and appetite for the food. And how the way one treats the waiters is indicative of one's righteousness - and if one is righteous enough, Elijah the Prophet just might pop by for a visit. Plus, the next mishnah. And - 2 sages with comparable names. And a dispute between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai that brings us back to pregnancy and nursing.

We've all heard it - The Mommy Wars. Despite our best efforts, there always seems to be an underlying case of “who did it better”?  One of the areas where we see this crop up frequently is within circles of working mothers. Is it better to work out of the house or to be a stay-at-home mom? What if you work in the home and still try to manage taking care of your children? Is that even a realistic possibility? What if you choose not to work at all? It's an endless cycle filled with societal pressure and copious amounts of mom guilt. And we're here to jump smack dab into the middle of the conversation today!Host Britt Nikel Smith chats with three different mamas - Anne Boedges, Jackie Hayes, and Ainsley Hoover - about their unique career stories and the way they're raising their families with intention. They share the challenges and blessings that accompany their choices and have a candid conversation about mom guilt and the ways it affects everyone. Britt talks with Anne, Jackie, and Ainsley about...Equitable family contributionsSocietal pressures on motherhood + careersGenerational expectations and perceived criticismsMom guiltLearning to juggle everything according to your own family's needsPracticing presence in every situationQuotable:“I didn't feel like I was pulling an equitable share. It was either all teacher or all mama and I couldn't find my footing, so I decided to make the change for myself.” - Ainsley Hoover“I just hope they feel how much love went into every day with them.” - Jackie Hayes“Your life doesn't have to look like someone else. Your work doesn't have to look like someone else. But we're all in it together. It's all worthy work. And at the end of the day, we just want them to know we put all our love into it.”Resources mentioned in this episode:The Mom Hour PodcastSupport the show

Our faith impacts everything, including our work and family, but what does this actually look like? How can our faith intersect with who we are and what we do all week long?  Stay at home or work outside the home? In this episode, Rachel Chester sits down with Allison Swenson and Donya Lawson to talk about how mom's working inside or outside the home can cause judgement, guilt, or rigidity.

Women in higher education must navigate a world that is not regularly friendly to them as mothers or as experts in their disciplines. When these professionals are in Christian universities, there are problems that emerge which require greater scrutiny of claims to be “family-friendly,” and how we treat female professors. Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil is the co-editor for Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy, which is a multi-authored collection from Christian women in higher-ed. Enjoy learning about why this book and these intersections are important for women and those of us who operate outside of higher-ed. Christians have an opportunity to re-shape cultural spaces that do not prioritize Christian values and learning from these contributors is a significant start.        Pick up your copy of Power Women here: https://cbeinternational.christianbook.com/power-women-stories-motherhood-faith-academy/9780830853069/pd/853069?event=ESRCG       Bio   Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil, is the interim dean for the School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences at Azusa Pacific University. She has a holistic perspective of the criminal justice system, those who interact with the system (victims, offenders, communities), and the challenges the criminal justice system faces in today's rapidly changing climate.

Mommy Wars. They may have started out as “working mom” v. “stay at home mom” but it has morphed (or devolved) into something much bigger. While, in the eyes of our culture, “you do you” might have freed us to make different choices than another mom, has it drawn us together and given us the support we need? Parenting is so difficult and Ecclesiastes reminds us that toiling away alone is tantamount to trying to catch smoke. What we need instead are co-laborers. We need other moms to come alongside us, not because we agree on everything, but because we have a common goal - the flourishing of the next generation.  We need to come alongside other moms because when we pit ourselves against one another due to differences in parenting styles, we cut off our nose to spite our collective face. Join Heather this week as she challenges us to look introspectively and grow in conflict resolution in light of Ecclesiastes 4.  Links Mentioned:   Resolving Sibling Conflict :: Jim and Lynne Jackson [Ep 126] Bruce Learns to Label His Feelings :: Bruce and Heather [Ep 316] How to Help a Friend Process Life :: Heather and Stephanie [Ep 359] Fighting Shame through Community :: Dr Curt Thompson [Ep 308]  Featured Sponsors:  Ladder Financial.

One of the biggest challenges a woman faces when she becomes a mom is deciding what to do about her professional aspirations and her need for childcare. This episode examines the “Mommy Wars” narrative that claims mothers who choose to return to work and mothers who decide to stay home are “divided into hostile, defensive camps”. Is this true? What are the costs and benefits of returning to work full-time or leaving the paid workforce? Do mothers have to choose? I examine these questions and also reveal Covid's impact on the workplace, job searches and the “Mommy Wars” myth.

This week Gina and Nedra discuss why framing breastfeeding/chestfeeding as a simple parenting choice is problematic. Not only is it an oversimplification of very complex issue, this also places blame and shame on new parents who were likely derailed, undermined, or unsupported in meeting their own feeding goals for their babies. We hope you enjoy this week's podcast!

Do you find that your friends now a days depend on the compatibility of your parenting styles? Can your kids have friends who have been brought up differently? In episode 19, the ladies talk about parenting styles in episode 2 of Mommy Wars. They discuss the differences in parenting styles today versus years ago. Lawn mower, helicopter, free range parenting, snow plow and light house parenting are all new sub categories of parenting styles that are commonly spoken about these days. How well do a helicopter parent and a free range parent get along? Can someone who allows their kids never ending freedoms befriend someone who won't let their children out of their sight? What about the children? Can kids of helicopter parents be friends with free range kids? We discuss all these things on our latest episode! What do you think? Can you have mom friends with other parenting types? Let us know and we will share on a later episode- we can share anonymously also! Please be sure to subscribe and so you never miss an episode!

Jenn and Laura kick off their segment called “Mommy Wars” with a discussion about what the best way is to feed an infant. Periodically the Jenn and Laura will discuss the ridiculous nature of “mommy wars” and the things mothers seem to judge others about. Having bottle fed and breastfed they talk about the pros and cons of each way. They also explore the mommy guilt and shame associated with choosing the option that is less popular. Jenn and Laura consider external circumstances that may attribute towards one feeding method or another. Come enjoy the conversation and they revisit their feelings about their feeding situations.

Back in Ep. 13, Stop Shoulding, we discussed why “should” is a word rooted in expectation, obligation, and criticism. Since then, we’ve mostly eliminated it from our vocabulary, which has felt liberating and has significantly boosted our happiness. Even so, there are still plenty of silent shoulds lurking in our thoughts. Though we may not even be aware of them, they are nonetheless driving our feelings and actions. We surface our most common silent shoulds about career, family (including The Mommy Wars), and life in general and reframe them in a more intentional way. Ultimately, we believe there is no “should” -- WE get to decide what we want and choose to do, and so do you!

„Was?! Ihr habt sie jetzt schon impfen lassen?“, „Stillst du etwa nicht?“, „Mit zehn Monaten in die Kita ist aber ganz schön früh!“, "Ich würde ja keine Fotos von meinen Kindern ins Netz stellen!“, „Wie?! Du lässt den Kleinen nicht mehr ins gemeinsame Bett? Das würde ich ja nicht übers Herz bringen!“ Hände hoch: Welche Mutter hat solche Sätze nicht schon einmal gehört, gesagt oder geposted? Janine wettet: Alle Hände bleiben unten. Oder? Fest steht: Wer heutzutage Mutter ist, bekommt Druck oder macht ihn sich selbst. "Mom Shaming“, „Mom-Bashing“ oder "Mommy Wars" heißt das Phänomen, das aus Müttern wahlweise Furien oder Nervenbündel macht. „Mache ich alles richtig?“, „Bin ich gut genug als Mutter?“, „Tauge ich was oder nichts?“, kurzum: in den eigenen Reihen herrscht wenig Zusammenhalt. Einen Best-Mom-Pokal gewinnt damit wohl keine. Wieso ist das so?, fragen sich Lili und Janine heute. Warum darf man nicht einfach nur Mutter sein, sondern nur noch perfekt? Müssen Highheels auf dem Spielplatz wirklich sein? Wie hat Victoria Beckham das bloß immer hinbekommen? Wie hat sich Janine als „Working Mom“ geschlagen? Wie schlägt sie sich heute noch? Und: Sind die Supermoms auf Insta wirklich so super oder tun sie nur so? Was ist eigentlich eine Supermom? Und vor allem: was ist eine Bad Mom? Und ab wann ist man eine? Vor allem Lili fragt sich, was die überambitionierten Muddis auf TikTok seit neuestem für einen Auftrag haben…? Schnitzen die wirklich den ganzen Tag Disney-Landschaften aus Gemüse? Vor allem: wieso hat Janine das noch nie gemacht? „Bad Mom“ oder „Good Mom“? Das ist heute die Frage bei den Kunze-Ladies - mit Janine auf dem heißen Stuhl… OMG!! Hat sie etwa nur ein Salatblatt aufs Brot getan?!!

In today's show, podcaster and author Rebekah Hargraves joins us! Her birth stories could not be more different, but Oh! they are so deep and impactful.

We talk about pride in parenting, and how the Gospel offers us grace and the opportunity for repentance.

Rebekah Hargraves is the host of the Home and Hearth Podcast, which, up until recently, has always been mostly an interview-style podcast. Now, however, she is branching out into recording the third of her solo podcasts to talk today on the topic of  the mommy wars. This is a topic Rebekah has written about extensively and shared about on other podcasts, as well, so she's excited to now be branching out into discussing it on her own podcast! What She Chats about in Today's Episode: ~Defining the term "mommy wars" and covering a bit of its history ~How the mommy wars show up in our current culture ~8 problems with the mommy wars - 8 main ways in which they are doing damage in the church: *They are causing us to major on the minors, only to forget what is really important. *They are causing us to forget what the Word of God actually has to say on the topic of mothering (see Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4, Titus 2:4-5, Deuteronomy 6:6-7) as we're so focused on things of lesser importance. *They are destroying the Titus 2 model and its outreach (see Titus 2:3-5). *They are causing us to ignore (and even blaspheme!) the gospel. *They are hindering us from being able to walk by the Spirit and to walk by faith (see James 1:5, Isaiah 30:21, Psalm 139, and Galatians 5:16-18,22-23). *They are causing division and leading to our losing out on encouraging friendship and valuable fellowship (see Genesis 2:18, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Romans 14). *They are leading to our losing our salt and light and to our becoming poor examples of Christ (Matthew 5:13-16, John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 5:20, Colossians 3:12, 4:6, Ephesians 4:29, Romans 12:18). *They are burdening us with unnecessary and unbiblical expectations. ~How the enemy is using the mommy wars to keep our noses on the internet and social media rather than in Scripture ~1 Timothy 4:8's response to the mommy wars ~How the mommy wars have led to a subconscious misunderstanding of the gospel as we look to our mothering choices to provide us with our righteousness, perfection, and good standing before God ~The issues of the mommy wars as being issues of secondary importance and why we have no right to judge other mamas in these areas ~Viewing mommy wars topics in light of Romans 14 ~Romans 14 and why I do not publicly share our family's choices regarding things like vaccination ~Assuming the best of other mamas, realizing that every mama comes to the decision they make with a desire for what is best for their children  ~The wisdom of the world vs. the wisdom of God ~The long list of expectations we as moms have on our shoulders as to what "good moms" do  vs. the very short list God has for us ~And more!

My 2 best friends didn’t breastfeed, I did. I was a stay at home mom when my best friend was a working mom and vice versa.   Not once did she upset me about my choices and I did not either. Why? Because I am a not a **** (AKA snitch) join me in this episode as I would like to chat with you about why I think mommy wars do not exist, and if you feel they do, you might be surrounded by too many snithces. Snitches who are not supportive, they always find a reaosn to make you feel bad, they give too much unwanted advice, and always show off about their husbands, diamonds, kids, parenting choices or something else. Share with me your thoughts afterwards!

We're moms and we all want what's best for our babies, right? If we truly believe that, then why aren't we more supportive of one another? We can't possibly know all the reasons behind a mom's decision to feed her baby- whether it's by breastfeeding, pumping, milk sharing, or formula feeding. And still we end up judging one another, unfairly. So, how can we change this? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’ve all done it. We’ve passed judgment on some mom for something she’s done (or not done).    For being on her phone while she’s at the park with her kids.   For going back to work “so soon” after giving birth.    For extended breastfeeding - or not. For sleep training - or not. For making handmade organic baby food - or not.    And have you ever worried about what other people will think about your own decisions, for your own family? I’m guessing yes.    The reality is that all this judgment isn’t helping any of us. But also, we can learn a great deal about ourselves if we are willing to get brave and look at why we pass judgement on others, and when.    In fact, this might be the thing that allows you to break free of your fear of being judge by others and making stronger, clearer decisions that you absolutely know are right for you.  In this episode: What are the Mommy Wars and why they are so bad for all of us What's underneath your judgment of other women How to shift your thinking and bring more compassion and empathy to yourself and others An exciting announcement about the next episode Complete show notes for Episode 41 Connect with Doña on Instagram Get the Get Back In Control Of Your Life workbook and get regular updates about the podcast Find out how to work one on one with Doña

This week we are talking about our disdain for Mommy Wars. What opinions should we care about? What should we let go? How can we be a voice of grace rather than discouragement? We also touch on the pressure we put on our kids, and how our words are going to help form their inner monologue.

This week we are tackling parenting.  While on the surface this may not seem like a hot button issue, anyone who has bumped up against a conflict in parenting methods knows that there are big feelings involved.  The guest is Meg Tietz, creator and producer of The Sorta Awesome podcast and writer and creator of the former blog Sorta Crunchy.  She is also the co-author of the book “Spirit-Led Parenting: From Fear to Freedom in Baby's First Year.”  Meg and Colleen talk about trusting your parenting intuition, the abundance of fear and judgement we seem to have today around the art of raising kids, and why we wish “Mommy Wars” would just be put to death already.   Connect with Meg!  You can find her on Instagram and Facebook and be sure to check out her podcast, The Sorta Awesome Podcast.  It's such a good show!  (You can find the show on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter as well.)   Also discussed on the show: NYTimes piece “Motherhood in the Age of Fear” The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Patti and Heather are trying to get back into the swing of things in the New Year. Battling sleep deprivation, lack of privacy, and what's bugging them they find the humor and discuss where they find material for their jokes. In this episode they also discuss the benefits of taking a comedy class to help hone their skills. Then it's on to the MOMMY WARS. Moms, and even Dads, you know these other parents. These are the ones who have something to say about how everyone else is living their life. They also delve into not looking like their kids and trying out 23 and Me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/denialbus/message

Episode 247: In my honest opinion, “Mommy Wars” are mothers casting judgement on other Mothers. From there, feuds can break out (whether silent or not), tensions can rise, and overall discontentment with oneself and others can partake. Today, I’m sharing The 5 Essentials for Putting an END to Mommy Wars (Blossoming Mommy + Baby Style) once and for all!

Moms want to put a label on everything, including themselves. Are you a crunchy mom? Free-range mom? Do you practice attachment parenting or grace-based? What do these even mean? In this episode, Darlene (who raised her daughters a couple decades ago) and Julie (in the thick of it now) poke fun at themselves as they try to figure out what their styles would be called while they highlight the great parts of each style discussed. But no judgement here—we believe all moms are doing the best they can and deserve to be encouraged to find their own grit and grace along their motherhood journey. Viewing in an app?

Last month the moms talked about Helicopter Parenting and Mom Tribes. This month they feel brave enough to tackle some of the “Mommy Wars”! Stay at home versus working outside of the home. Nursing versus bottle feeding. Childbirth choices. Sleeping arrangements. Discipline methods, etc. There are always lots of opinions because moms are all so different. At the end of the day, it seems best if we all respect other mom’s ways of being a mom. Often one of the best parts of being a mom is enjoying time with the kids and finding cool things to do with them! On today’s episode, the moms talk about their favorite activities to do with their kids and family. If you have a great suggestions that the moms didn’t mention look for a post on the Naperville, Illinois Moms Facebook Group to continue the conversation and share your family favorites!

We hear it all over the place, the well coined phrase "Mommy Wars". It refers to the battle moms these days find themselves in with one another. Why? Why does such a thing even exist? People saying unkind things has existed since the dawn of humankind but in todays world where people can hide behind a screen and anonymity, the scale on which people are willing to tell others why they are wrong or that they don't know what they are talking about is at an all time high. Today I talk about how we can put an end to the "Mommy Wars" and the role I feel we each play in it. I can promise you the answers I give are not what you may think they should be, but I hope you come away realizing that they really do have the ability to bring peace and support back to the journey we moms are all on. Enjoy!

There are so many ways for Moms to help each other and so many ways that won't take away from you in the process. Dannie talks about how the more you give the more you get back in the process. So why do we continue to have these "Mommy Wars"? She talks about the issues she has experienced raising her daughter, but the joy of helping out others knowing we all have struggled. Plus Lesley Pyle joins the show! She is the founder of HireMyMom.com. She talks about how her company helps moms find legitimate work from home, the process of getting started again and the joys of being able to give back!

The Mommy Wars are one of the worst things to come from the age of social media. Oh, sure! They've been around a long time (moms have always been critical of one another, because sin!) but social media allows these wars to reach a whole new level of awful. The saddest part is, the mommy wars are not contained in the walls of social media. They are seeping into the fabric of our church and disrupting fellowship among believers. This has to end! Hear our take on the Mommy Wars with this weeks episode. Ps. Take a look at the book "Mom Enough". There is a free download on the desiring God website. The book is about the mommy wars and it's short, sweet and to the point. Defiantly worth the read!

On this episode of Theology Gals, Coleen and Ashley discuss Mommy Wars. Moms today are faced with so much pressure and judgement with parenting decisions.

It's 2018. The internet has been out a while and by now, all of us moms are well aware of the Mommy Wars that rage in the comment sections of every dark corner of the internet. Good moms breastfeed, good moms bottle feed, good moms work, good moms don't work, good moms blah, blah, blah! We're a bit exhausted by the chatter and confused by all the conflicting information that is being thrown out there. So, what do good moms do? They make a podcast episode about all the mom shaming that is running rampant in our culture.

Welcome to episode six of the Honest Mamas Podcast! Today we speak to Claire Colaco about the issue of mommy wars. Claire's first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time-honored tradition and fundamental to healing. Claire strives to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire her too! She practices spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means she see's life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To her, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves. Claire has experience working with adults, couples, families and children. She brings a variety of healing modalities to my work that help to integrate and build mind/body/spirit awareness. These include: working with the unconscious, mindfulness training, somatic techniques, dream work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavioral modification utilizing goal setting. Her areas of expertise include: Depression/Anxiety; Life Transitions; Eating Issues/Body Image Concerns; Spirituality; Parenthood; Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect; Marriage/Partnership; Prenatal, Pregnancy and Postpartum What you’ll hear in this episode: How Claire became interested in the topic of mommy wars In what environments, you can expect to experience mommy wars Why we engage in mommy wars Learning to tune into your own intuition Bridging the gap between self-care and vulnerability How to take a loving alternative to judgement and criticism   Resources http://www.clairecolaco.com

At 22, Leslie Morgan Steiner seemed to have it all: a Harvard diploma, a glamorous job at Seventeen magazine, a funky New York City apartment. Plus a handsome, funny, street-smart boyfriend who adored her. But behind a façade of success, this golden girl hid a dark secret. She’d made a mistake shared by millions: she fell in love with the wrong person. Gripping and utterly compelling, New York Times bestseller and TED Talk Crazy Love takes you inside the violent, devastating world of abusive love. Why did Leslie stay? She thought she loved him. Find out for yourself if she had fallen truly in love – or into a psychological trap. She is also the editor of the highly acclaimed anthology Mommy Wars, and a former parenting columnist for washingtonpost.com. She currently writes the Mommy Wars column for ModernMom.com. Her November 2013 book, The Baby Chase, explores surrogacy’s impact on American families, and her second TEDTalk explores the ethics of global surrogacy.

Would you refuse to date someone with poor credit? If you’re a single woman, the answer is likely to be yes. And you’d be right! If you’re a single man, surveys show you probably don’t much care. And you’d be right too. In this show I explain why. Susan Lapin joins me to discuss childlessness and I step into dangerous territory when I speculate on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey.

There are times when life gets busy, busy, busy and you feel completely overwhelmed and you want to hide under the covers and hibernate.  Usually that is not an option.  How do you navigate this energy?   The last couple of weeks have been hectic.  Lots of situations occurred where people tried to start a fight with me and I got a choice to either fight back or find some calm and deal with the situation.    I chose calm and deal.  I will share with you my tips for doing this.    I completely impressed my best friend, because I do fight back when someone is being a jerk to me, but I consciously and awaringly chose not to.  Why? Because I am well aware of my power and the energy I bring to situations.

Recently, I have been asked repeatedly to do an episode on mommy judgment, specifically on moms who judge other moms. Let’s just call this what it is - Mommy Wars.  And please know – it’s an ugly place for you. And it’s damaging to your kids.     I’ll be honest, before I was a mom I sat in judgment of my mom friends.  I noticed and quite comfortably critiqued: How Johnny should could benefit from more time outs The atrocity of little Susie’s frequent hitting The obvious problem that was Bobbie’s french fry addiction   Then, I had a kid.   My kid’s behavior is not impacted at all by time outs.  So we don’t really use them much.   Last week, my kid smacked me upside the head with a metal toy car and gave me a goose egg.  The next day he kicked me in the mouth.   On any given Sunday, when we’re out for brunch, you can find my kid eating a well balanced meal of bacon and French fries.    So, who am I to judge…..   I can no longer comfortably critique.     I am IN. IT.    One of the quotes that is always, always close to my heart is, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”   When a horrific accident happens involving a child, let’s not judge.  We do not know the story.  We do not know the circumstances.  And there is no reason to think you are a better mother than any other mother.    I firmly believe we are all doing the very best we can.     It is easy to get caught up in community gossip or media mayhem over news stories involving kids.  It’s very easy and very comfortable, sadly, to stand on a holier-than-thou pedestal pointing out the short-comings of another mother.    And all this does is continue to build walls between moms and walls between women.  At it’s best, it’s fun gossip between moms.  At it’s worst, it’s women discrediting and devaluing other women in front of their kids.    Let’s do our kids a favor and acknowledge that being a mommy is hard and we all do our best everyday.  Sometimes things don’t happen the way we want.  Sometimes horrible things happen.  In those moments, we have an opportunity to be kind and supportive and gentle.  We have the chance to listen and learn and practice empathy.     I’m gonna screw up a lot as a mom.  A lot.     So are you.   It’s ok.    I’m here for you.  And I hope you’ll be there for me.     This is what I want my kid to see.

Like Tae Bo and Beanie Babies, the Mommy Wars are so 1990s. But ask any mom (or anyone, for that matter) whether it’s better for moms to work or stay at home, and you’ll likely get a strong and sometimes emotional answer. This week on the Savvy Psychologist, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen reveals what the science says about working versus staying home. Read the full transcript here: http://bit.ly/1JWxuXk

Stay-at-home and working-moms: Embrace the season you're in with Paula FarisAs moms, we all work. We know that. However, our culture wants us to find a camp and defend it. We find ourselves in a “stay-at-home” world or a “working moms” world. Paula Faris is a dear friend of mine and is just who we needed on this podcast topic. Like many of us, Paula has worked in many lanes since becoming a mom. She has worked full-time on Good Morning America and The View. She has also had a season at home with her kids and is now working from home on her new brand, Carry Media.Paula and I chat about how often we (moms) judge each other's decisions and what we really need is support and understanding. What if we could end these mommy wars and all get on the same train of support? In this episode, we also talk about how employers could help shift the work environment for mothers in the future. Paula speaks from the true heart of an advocate that is using her voice and platform to fight for the working moms.My favorite part is when Paula encourages moms to embrace each season. That we don't need to defend our choices - but just follow God's voice for our particular season and our family's needs. Connect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoResources from today's show:Paula's book: You Don't Have To Carry It AllPaula's children's book: Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?CARRY MediaPaula's InstagramCynthia Yanof's book: Life is Messy, God is GoodOur Sponsors:* Check out Puro Air : https://getpuroair.com/* Visit HomeThreads.com/MESS today and get a 15% off code for your first order!Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
