If you've ever said yes when you meant no, and then spent the rest of the day resenting it, this episode is for you. Host Somya sits down with Glen Alex, LCSW, author and boundaries educator, to unpack why healthy boundaries have nothing to do with being cold or selfish, and everything to do with keeping yourself safe. Glen breaks down the two most common boundary breakers she sees in her practice, oversharing and over-yessing, and walks through the difference between appropriate guilt and the kind that just keeps you stuck. If you're ready to stop apologizing for choosing yourself, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate place to start. About the Guest: Glen Alex is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and author who has spent years studying what it means to live with boundaries that support both connection and self-respect. She is the author of Living in Total Health and Living Boundaries, and offers complimentary consultations through her practice. Key Takeaways: Boundaries aren't walls built to keep people out. They're agreements you make with yourself about what you will and won't carry. Watch for the two most common boundary breakers: oversharing (giving people ammunition before trust is earned) and over-yessing (saying yes when the honest answer is no). Learn to tell appropriate guilt (your conscience flagging a real value you violated) apart from inappropriate guilt (a looping "I should" that has no corrective action attached). Start where the discomfort actually is. If anxiety or burnout is showing up, trace it back to the specific relationship or ask that needs a boundary. Slipping up doesn't mean you failed. The moment you notice, you step back in, no self-punishment required. A boundary only holds if your "why" is strong enough to outlast the pushback from people used to getting their way.

In this episode, Wendy welcomes back Alyssa Blask Campbell, bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, for a powerful conversation about helping older kids build emotional strength, navigate boundaries, and move through big feelings with support. Alyssa shares why middle childhood is often overlooked, even though elementary-age kids are still developing major emotional regulation skills. Together, Wendy and Alyssa talk about why parents don't need to fix every hard feeling, how co-regulation still matters as kids grow, and why strong boundaries help children feel safe when they're offered with calm, clarity, and respect. ➡️ Head to https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/336 for more info and links.
After years and years of therapy, I have gotten pretty good at setting boundaries with almost everyone in my life. My weakest area, by far, is my own children. I'm a softie, and it is very difficult for me to let my kids be unhappy and not immediately try to resolve it. That instinct comes from something real, because connection with my children is one of my true strengths and I lean into it on purpose, but it can tip over into permissiveness pretty easily. And since I work from home, the line between when I'm mom and when I'm working has stayed blurry for years, which means I have been frustrated with my kids for interrupting me when I was never clear or consistent with them in the first place about when they could and could not come in. This is the third episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Balance Your Boundaries, and because boundaries have become such a buzzword, I want to take us back to a simple definition of what they are and what they are not. Boundaries are what you will do to honor your needs, not what you expect other people to do. Which means the whole thing gets a lot simpler, because it stops depending on anyone else cooperating. In this episode, you'll hear:
Narcissists don't lack empathy, they use it as a tool. This summary reveals the surprising truth about their manipulation.

Send us Fan MailCan Christians set boundaries and still love people well? Absolutely. In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we talk about why healthy boundaries are not the opposite of love—they can actually help us love others in a healthier, wiser, and more Christlike way.Jesus Himself modeled healthy boundaries. He withdrew to pray, knew His priorities, and didn't allow the expectations or needs of others to determine His every decision. We'll explore the difference between helping and enabling, why saying “no” doesn't make you unloving, and how you can forgive someone without immediately restoring trust.We'll also talk about the importance of knowing what you are—and aren't—responsible for, setting clear and consistent boundaries, dealing with guilt, and releasing people to God when you realize you can't change or fix them.But boundaries can also be misused. They should never become an excuse for bitterness, revenge, avoidance, or refusing to love difficult people. Christian boundaries should protect our ability to love—not become a reason to stop loving.Maybe the question isn't, “Am I a bad Christian because I need boundaries?” Maybe the better question is, “What boundaries will help me love God, love people, and faithfully steward the life God has given me?”Sometimes faithfulness looks like yes. Sometimes it looks like I forgive you. Sometimes it looks like I'll help you. And sometimes, the most faithful answer is simply no.Listen to Episode 19 of Ask A Pastor and discover how biblical boundaries can help you love others without allowing unhealthy relationships to control your life.Support the show
Caring for ageing parents does not require you to surrender your home, health or future. This episode explores parental guilt, family expectations and sibling conflict over elderly care. You are allowed to love your ageing parents without giving up your home, your health and your life. Many women live under an unspoken contract: a good daughter stays available, accommodates everyone and proves her love through sacrifice. Nobody asks whether she agreed to that contract—or what it will cost her. In this episode, I challenge the belief that caring for an ageing parent requires an adult daughter to disappear. Through a composite coaching example, I explore what happens when a woman has already set a boundary with her elderly parent but continues to punish herself for it. She has said no on the outside, while still believing that a good daughter should have said yes. We discuss: Why feeling guilty does not prove that you are guilty The difference between setting a boundary and emotionally standing behind it Why love does not require unlimited access to your home, energy or life How to deal with a parent who remains disappointed with your decision Why another person's unhappiness is not an instruction to abandon yourself Sibling conflict over caring for elderly parents How distant siblings use criticism to manage the guilt of not being there Why you cannot outsource the labour and retain total control How to replace vague guilt with clear, practical responsibility Why a good daughter is not required to sacrifice the life she has spent decades building A parent's need is real. It does not automatically become your personal assignment. You can acknowledge your parent's disappointment without agreeing to the arrangement they want. You can love them, support them and contribute to their care without surrendering your marriage, health, ambitions, peace or future. Questions to consider Where am I already saying no but still punishing myself for it? What am I genuinely willing to give once guilt is removed from the decision? There may be no solution in which your parent is happy, your sibling agrees, nobody judges you and you feel completely comfortable. Discomfort is not the same as wrongdoing. Disappointing another person is not the same as abandoning them. Being a loving daughter does not require you to surrender your life. Share this episode If you know a woman who is trying to be a good daughter at the expense of her own life, share this episode with her. Send it without advice or criticism. Simply say: “I heard this, and I thought you might need to hear it too.” She may not need another reminder of what she owes everybody else. She may need permission to stop disappearing.

Chiron Retrograde Has Arrived: The Astrology Behind Your Money, Self-Worth & Subconscious Wounds Resurfacing Right Now Chiron just stationed retrograde in Taurus — the first time since 1983. Here's what it means for your money, self-worth & subconscious healing. On August 3rd, 2026, Chiron — astrology's wounded healer — stationed retrograde at zero degrees Taurus, the first Chiron retrograde in Taurus since 1983. In this episode, I break down what Chiron actually represents in astrology, why Taurus is the sign of money, security, the body, and self-worth, and what happens when the wounded healer moves through the sign of "am I safe, am I enough, do I deserve this." I'm connecting this transit directly to the subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system work I teach every week — because Chiron in Taurus isn't a mindset issue, it's a safety issue, and your subconscious mind and nervous system are where this wound actually lives, long before it shows up as a thought about money or worth. I also get personal: my own natal Chiron sits at 29° Taurus, and I walk through what that means for my own Chiron return — plus what it means if you were born between 1976 and 1984, because your natal Chiron is in Taurus too, and this entire astrological chapter is speaking directly to you. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the astrology, the psychology, and the subconscious patterning behind why old wounds around money, safety, and self-worth have been surfacing lately — and a handful of practical, body-based ways to work with it instead of around it. In This Episode 00:00 — Cold open: what shifted in the sky on August 3rd 00:45 — The news: Chiron's full 2026–2027 retrograde timeline, explained 02:00 — What Chiron represents in astrology (the wounded healer myth) 04:00 — What Taurus represents (money, body, security, self-worth) 7:00 — Chiron in Taurus: what the wound is actually about + the subconscious/nervous-system connection 8:00 — My Chiron return story — and what it means if you were born 1976–1984 10:00 — Practical, subconscious-informed ways to navigate this retrograde 12:00 — Recap + what's coming with eclipse season (Solar Eclipse in Leo, August 12th) Key Takeaways Chiron stationed retrograde at 0°52′ Taurus on August 3, 2026 — the first Chiron retrograde in Taurus since 1983. This retrograde is a preview: Chiron doesn't settle into Taurus for its full ~7-year transit until April 2027. Taurus rules the 2nd house — money, possessions, values, and self-worth — plus the body itself. Chiron in Taurus asks you to notice, not fix, where your sense of safety and worth actually live in your body and subconscious mind, not just your thoughts. A true Chiron return happens once in a lifetime, around ages 46–53, when transiting Chiron reaches your exact natal degree. If you were born between 1976 and 1984, your natal Chiron is in Taurus — this multi-year transit is your story too. Subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system regulation are the practical tools for working with this transit, not just journaling or mindset shifts. Quotable Moments "Chiron isn't the wound you overcome. It's the wound you learn to carry differently." "This isn't a mindset issue. It's a safety issue. Your subconscious and your nervous system knew before your thoughts did." "This week isn't my Chiron return. It's page one of the story that leads to it." Frequently Asked Questions What does Chiron retrograde mean? Chiron retrograde is a period when Chiron appears to move backward through the zodiac, turning the wounded-healer archetype inward. Rather than acting or fixing, retrograde periods invite reflection on where a core wound already lives in your subconscious patterning and nervous system. What does Chiron in Taurus mean? Chiron in Taurus brings the wounded-healer energy into the sign of money, security, the body, and self-worth. It can surface old subconscious beliefs about not being safe, not having enough, or not deserving stability — wounds that often live in the body and nervous system before they ever show up as a conscious thought. What is a Chiron return? A Chiron return happens once in a lifetime, typically between ages 46 and 53, when transiting Chiron returns to the exact degree it occupied at your birth. It's considered one of the major midlife astrological turning points, often triggering a deep review of core wounds and an invitation to finally heal them. When is the next Chiron retrograde in 2026? Chiron stationed retrograde on August 3, 2026, at 0°52′ Taurus, and remains retrograde until it stations direct on January 6, 2027, at 26°16′ Aries. It fully re-enters Taurus for a multi-year transit on April 14, 2027. How do you heal a Chiron wound? Chiron wounds respond best to slow, body-based healing rather than quick fixes — think subconscious reprogramming, nervous-system regulation, somatic practices, and compassionate self-witnessing, rather than trying to think or journal your way past them. Who is most affected by Chiron in Taurus? Anyone with natal Chiron in Taurus feels this transit most directly — that's generally people born between 1976 and 1984, who will move through their own Chiron return sometime during this multi-year Taurus chapter.

With back-to-school season right around the corner, I keep thinking about a moment from my own high school years – a moment so small I barely registered it at the time. I noticed a kid sitting alone, stuck out my hand, and said hi. That was it. What I didn't know was that it would change his life, and honestly, mine too. This is a re-air of one of my favorite episodes from the archives, originally recorded as an interview I did on the podcast Becoming for Teens. I'm bringing it back now because our schools need more kids brave enough to look up, reach out, and make someone feel like they belong. And the truth is, so do our communities. You'll come away from this one thinking about:
Until we can understand and honor our own boundaries, we will not be able to create the kind of honest, equal partnerships and connections we desire. Because they are so vital to great relationships, it's important to know exactly what they are and how to set them. Let's dig in, shall we? Thanks for listening!

Why does therapy sometimes feel harder before it finally starts helping? And how do you know when healing is actually happening?In this deeply honest conversation, Fran sits down with filmmaker, healthcare worker, and creator Mark Labella to talk about PTSD, therapy stigma, emotional overwhelm, people pleasing, boundaries, grief, and learning to trust the healing process.Mark opens up about delaying therapy after serving in the military, navigating mental health stigma in Filipino culture, and what finally pushed him to seek help through the VA. Together, Fran and Mark unpack what cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) really looks like beyond the clichés, including why therapy can feel emotionally exhausting before meaningful change begins.They also explore the hidden impact of empathy, emotional burnout, and carrying other people's pain, especially in caregiving and leadership roles. Mark shares his experience working on the frontlines during COVID-19, processing grief through writing, and how trauma shaped both his healing journey and his creative work.This episode also dives into:PTSD and emotional regulationTherapy stigma and asking for helpCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) toolsSetting boundaries and overcoming people pleasingManaging stress and emotional overwhelmLearning not to care so much about other people's opinionsLGBTQ+ identity, self-acceptance, and authenticityHealing through creativity and storytellingMark also shares the powerful story behind Nurse the Dead, a heartfelt comedy inspired by Filipino nurses, grief, community, and healing after loss.If therapy has ever felt overwhelming, if you struggle with boundaries, or if you're learning how to stop carrying everyone else's emotions, this conversation is for you.Listen, follow Normalize The Conversation, and share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that healing isn't linear, but it is possible.

Together we explore her idea of “mindful rebellion” a soft, steady way to challenge the old people-pleasing pattern without turning life into constant conflict. We talk about why boundaries are not walls, how guilt sneaks in even after you finally say no, and why a clear “constructive no” can actually improve trust and performance at work. You'll hear a concrete workplace story about protecting core hours, plus practical tools like nonviolent communication to keep hard conversations factual and solution-focused. Maggie also shares a simple method to start this week: get clear on your real limits, run one small boundary experiment, and treat the outcome like data rather than proof you “failed.” We wrap with how to hold your ground when others are used to the old you, and how tracking your attempts builds consistency over time. If you want a calmer mind, stronger boundaries, and healthier relationships, hit play, then share this with a fellow over-giver.

Send us Fan MailYou can be the most dependable person in the room and still be quietly falling apart.Many mid-career professionals have built their reputations by being capable, responsive, and willing to solve difficult problems. But when you become the person everyone relies on, your competence can turn into a trap. More work comes your way, other people's emergencies become your responsibility, and saying yes becomes almost automatic.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I sit down with Tammie Calys, executive reinvention architect and founder of Next Level Me, to discuss what she calls the curse of competence.After decades of leading corporate strategy and large-scale organizational change, Tammie learned a dangerous truth: high-achieving leaders are often excellent at mitigating risk for their organizations while ignoring the risks to their own capacity, health, relationships, and careers.We explore the fear, uncertainty, and guilt many mid-career professionals are experiencing in the 2026 job market. You may want a new job or career change, but feel guilty pursuing something better while colleagues are being laid off or displaced. You may also be staying in an unhealthy situation because the uncertainty of leaving feels more frightening than the cost of remaining.Tammie explains how high performers become the default solution for every workplace problem and why being dependable does not mean you must absorb every new responsibility. She also shares specific boundary-setting scripts that allow you to protect your time and capacity without damaging trust or appearing uncooperative.You will learn how to use a 24-hour pause to interrupt the reflexive yes, initiate a trade-off conversation that forces meaningful prioritization, and offer alternative solutions without taking ownership of the entire problem.We also discuss the early warning signs of silent cracking, including phantom presence, when you are physically with the people you care about but remain mentally consumed by work. Tammie explains why remote and hybrid professionals need a deliberate workday shutdown ritual and a transition bridge that helps them move from professional responsibilities into their personal lives.This conversation is not simply about saying no. It is about leading yourself more intentionally, protecting your professional capacity, and making career decisions before you reach a breaking point.In This Episode, You Will Learn:• Why fear and guilt in the 2026 job market keep mid-career professionals stuck• How the curse of competence turns top performers into the default fix for every problem• A 24-hour pause script that prevents an automatic yes• Three ways to say no while remaining supportive and collaborative• How to use trade-off conversations to help leaders establish real priorities• Why microhabits and evidence from your own history can strengthen your confidence• How silent cracking and phantom presence affect your personal relationships• How to create a workday shutdown ritual for remote and hybrid work• Why knowing your north star is essential for career clarity and professional reinvention• How to advocate for yourself before exhaustion, resentment, or burnout forces a decisionYour job may feel secure today, but that does not mean you should leave your career direction entirely in someone else's hands. Knowing your values, strengths, boundaries, and professional north star helps you make intentional decisions instead of waiting for a crisis.If this episode helps you recognize where your competence may be working against you, subscribe to The Mid-Career GPS Podcast and share this conversation with a colleague who needs stronger workplace boundaries.

Brene Brown teaches that the most compassionate people have the strongest boundaries. This is because when we have clear and strong boundaries, we protect the relationship from resentment and anger and clear the way for compassion. Only when we are honest about what is okay and not okay with us can we create the partnerships that we seek in our most intimate relationship. Thanks for listening!

SummaryHave you ever felt like losing weight means saying no to everything you enjoy?Maybe you avoid social events, spend all week waiting for a cheat meal, or feel like one meal can ruin all your progress. You may be able to follow a strict plan for a few days or weeks, but it starts to fall apart as soon as life gets busy.In this episode, Chase and Chris explain why you should not have to put your entire life on hold to lose weight.The problem may not be that you need more discipline. Your plan may simply not fit your real life.Chase and Chris talk about the difference between following a temporary diet and building a lifestyle you can maintain. A diet often gives you strict rules to follow. A lifestyle helps you learn how to make choices during busy weeks, weekends, vacations, stressful days, and social events.That does not mean you never have to make sacrifices. You may need to drink less at some events, choose a different meal, skip an appetizer, plan ahead, or say no sometimes. But you should not feel like you have to be perfect or avoid everything you enjoy.They also explain why your sleep, stress, schedule, boundaries, routines, and relationships can affect your progress just as much as your food and workouts.The goal is not to get better at suffering through another diet. The goal is to create healthy habits that feel like a normal part of your life.Want to join us for the All or Nothing Masterclass on Monday July 20th, 2026 at 8pm?

She introduces Paula to an evaluation rubric for vetting potential employees, advising her to utilize trial workdays and custom hiring assessmentsShe exposes the traps of management neglect that trick empathetic bosses into prioritizing an applicant's personal hardships over their actual ability to complete high-stakes tasks.

Welcome back to the Coffee with Heather series! This week, we're talking about something that has completely transformed the way I parent: connection before correction.For a long time, I believed it was my job to control my boys' behavior. I thought that if I could just get them to listen better, behave better, or make fewer mistakes, then I would be doing my job as a mom. But if I'm honest, that mindset left me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the very people I wanted to love well.The more parents, mentors, and experts I interviewed over the years, the more I realized something beautiful: God never called me to control my children. He called me to guide them, disciple them, and build a relationship where they know they are deeply loved and safe.When connection becomes the foundation, correction becomes so much more effective.In this episode, I share some of the parenting lessons that have given me freedom, including insights from Jim and Lynne Jackson and the biblical reminder that God's kindness leads us to repentance. That verse has changed the way I think about discipline—not as punishment, but as teaching, guiding, and helping my children grow.When our children know they are loved, enjoyed, and accepted, trust begins to grow. And trust creates partnership. From that place, correction feels less like control and more like discipleship.In this episode, we'll talk about: The difference between behavior management and heart transformation. Why discipline is really about teaching, not punishing. How to become a safe place for your children. The importance of staying calm and regulating your own emotions. Why giving your child—and yourself—a "do-over" can strengthen your relationship. Practical ways to create meaningful one-on-one connections, even during busy seasons.

Boundaries are imperative if you are to have strong and healthy relationships. And I know that seems counter-intuitive, but when we don't have good boundaries, we end up swimming in resentment and anger, and that makes it really tough to show up the way we want to, which is generally loving and kind. In this episode we talk about boundary basics, what they are and why they're so important. Thanks for listening! Want to learn more about this concept?

Feeling exhausted in a way that sleep can't fix? You're not alone. This week on the podcast, the conversation focused on the unique burnout parents face when homeschooling neurodivergent kids—and why compassion fatigue is so real in our community. Key Takeaways Burnout Is More Than Tired: The exhaustion from parenting neurodivergent kids goes deeper—rest alone doesn't fix it. Micro Rest Counts: Slip in short, intentional moments of downtime throughout the day—they add up and make a difference. Delegate & Let Go: Release some control by assigning tasks, even if they aren't done perfectly. Set Boundaries for Survival: Protect your time and energy by saying "no" and establishing clear limits with family and commitments. Release the Guilt: Prioritizing your own care isn't selfish—your kids need a parent who's healthy, not perfect.

In this episode, Dana is joined by Chris Shurian, a self-proclaimed "entrepreholic" who has spent 39 years building, operating, breaking, and resurrecting companies. Chris shares his story of achieving massive success only to face financial devastation during the 2008 recession. He reveals the mindset of an entrepreholic (where chasing new business opportuntities and building companies feels addicting) and how that can be both a superpower and a critical weakness. Chris explains why life balance isn't a luxury but a core business strategy, and how setting firm boundaries from day one is the only way to play the long game without burning out.

Do you owe your toxic aging parent everything... or nothing? Clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Stinson, author of The Obligation Myth: Rethinking What You Owe Your Difficult Aging Parent, joins the show to unpack what happens when a critical, dismissive, or covertly narcissistic parent starts needing care — and why "I do everything" or "I do nothing" was never the real choice. We dig into the specific family roles that get assigned in childhood — the scapegoat, the golden child, the invisible child, and the enmeshed child — and how each one carries a different wound, gets triggered differently, and needs a completely different approach to setting a boundary. Dr. Stinson also breaks down how fear, obligation, and guilt (FOG) get weaponized differently depending on which role you were handed, and why your role can shift as the family system changes around you. If you've ever walked into your parent's house and instantly felt five years old again, this episode will help you understand why — and what to actually do about it. Lisa D. Stinson, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist specializing in complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse recovery, adult children of dysfunctional families, and the psychology of toxic family obligation. Her expertise was forged through extensive experience as an active-duty Navy psychologist, where she predominantly worked with trauma patients. Dr. Stinson holds both a Master's degree and Doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, following her undergraduate studies at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

You know what you want to say. You can feel it in your body. It doesn't feel good. Something is off. You want something different.And then… you don't say it.Not because you don't know how. Not because you haven't read the books or listened to the podcasts. But because in that moment, it feels risky.What if they get upset? What if they pull away? What if you lose them?In this episode, we're talking about what boundary setting actually looks like in real, everyday life… not the big, obvious, “cut them off” moments, but the small, quiet ones where it's just you, your body, and that split-second decision.We'll walk through:Why setting boundaries feels so hard (especially if you've been punished for it in the past)How your nervous system confuses present moments with past experiencesWhat to do in the moment when you feel yourself freeze or fawnWhy you don't have to get it right the first time (and how to take a “do-over”)How to tell the difference between unsafe people and uncomfortable momentsWhat it actually means to stay connected to yourself when it would be easier to abandon yourselfThis is not about perfect wording or getting it right on the spot.It's about learning to notice, trust, and act on what your body is already telling you… and staying with yourself, even when it's uncomfortable.Because that's the work.Connect + Continue the Work:If you're ready to practice this in real time, inside a space where you don't have to do it alone, you can join us in Mayhem Daughters, our online community for daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers.Or, if you're looking for language to help you say hard things, you can check out my guide: Simple Scripts for Saying Hard Things

Have you ever been hurt by someone and had no idea what to do with the pain?Maybe it was a friend who betrayed you. A parent who let you down. A coworker, an ex, someone in your own family. And somewhere along the way, you were told the "Christian" response is to just smile, stay silent, and let it happen again.Here's the truth: that's not what Jesus taught.In this message, we're breaking down one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible — Matthew 5:38-48 — where Jesus talks about turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, and loving your enemies. For centuries people have read this as "be a doormat." But Jesus wasn't asking you to be a doormat for people to trample on. He was inviting you to become a doorway His grace can flow through.We'll walk through Jesus' actual 4-step plan for conflict and pain:1. Refuse retaliation — don't become what hurt you2. Create healthy boundaries — turning the other cheek isn't surrendering your responsibility for your life3. Choose generosity over bitterness4. Love and pray for the people who hurt you mostThis isn't about pretending you weren't hurt. It's about not letting what hurt you decide who you become. Whether you're walking with Jesus already or just trying to figure out what real faith, hope, and forgiveness actually look like — this one's for you.
I have a friend named Laney who genuinely does not experience mom guilt. Not because she's a perfect mom, but because she's decided her kids are lucky to have her — and she means it! I used to laugh when she said things like that. But, now, after working for years on myself (I've come so far!), I understand that what I was struggling with wasn't only guilt over my shortcomings as a mom, but it was also guilt over the resentment I felt for everything I was carrying that led me to not enjoy my motherhood very much. The guilt was coming at me from every direction! If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is going to feel like a very welcome exhale. This week's guest is JoAnn Crohn, certified life coach and author of The Best Mom is a Happy Mom. She helps moms go from martyr to model, and this conversation is full of honest, practical tools for getting there. ✨ Why JoAnn's husband didn't even realize the imbalance until they did this one exercise together ✨ The "guilt equation" from a psychologist that will completely change how you think about your own expectations ✨ The thing JoAnn's therapist said that cut through all the noise and told her exactly what being a good mom actually requires If you've ever felt like the mental load of your family's life is sitting entirely on your shoulders, and if you've ever felt the guilt coming from every side, this episode is for you.
