Parenting “complex kids” is… a lot. ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, emotional dysregulation, big feelings, big talents, and a million moving parts.

Dr. Angele Close is back on the podcast! Today, we're diving deeper into letting go of mom shame and how to build a new relationship within ourselves so we can release that guilt and stress and show up in a more loving, kind, open-hearted way.You'll learn:Why the myths and expectations of society are like swimming in a fishbowlWhat it feels like to be in Self energyHow something as simple as placing your hand over your heart can soothe you in times of stress4 ways to tap into your SelfDr. Angele's story of how she became less reactive with her sonToday's episode is part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Angele Close. If you missed last week's episode, be sure to go back and check it out here. You can also find links to my previous episodes on the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) at the end of the show notes.---------------------------------------Dr. Angele uses the Internal Family Systems model in her therapy and coaching in order to help moms unburden themselves from trauma, guilt, stress, burnout, overwhelm, and that mental load that you're carrying in your head. She then teaches them how to relate to the stressors of parenting in a different way so that they can feel more joyful, calm, present, and able to actually enjoy the experience of raising kids. Turning Myths into EmpowermentIn last week's episode, we talked a lot about the myths of motherhood, including the Good Mom myth.There is so much about mom culture in our society that is toxic. The messaging all around us is sending messages that we basically have to be Supermom, or else we're failing. Dr. Angele says, “It's oppressive. It's life limiting…The liberation comes in the awareness of it.” When it comes to these myths, we have to ask ourselves, “What am I believing? What are the parts of me that have come to believe some of this stuff?”When you understand the answers to these questions, you can actually design your own experience of motherhood. It is an opportunity for awakening and empowerment. Dr. Angele says, “I think becoming a mother is a gateway for us to become our true, authentic self. That's the invitation. That's the true power.” Self Energy and Being Self-Led“Self” was conceptualized by Dr. Richard Schwartz, who created IFS. It's that place inside yourself that is just you. He talks about an energy of being coherent and connected. Your body, heart, and mind are all in the same place.Dr. Angele thinks of it as our soul energy. She says, “It's the energy within yourself which every human has. And it's not changed or tarnished by anything that you've been through or that's happened to you.”One example Dr. Angele shared was the image of the sky. Your Self energy is the sun, and your parts are the clouds. Even on a cloudy, overcast day, the sun is always there. Working with Your Parts - the Manager and the FirefighterUnfortunately, we're not living fully in Self energy every day. That's not realistic when we live in a complex world that often feels unsafe or stressful. That's when our “parts” take the wheel. These other parts come in to help us navigate and cope and live in the real world. They're a bit like our armor, our protection. When we can drop that armor and unburden our parts, we become more aware and conscious to choose our beliefs and energy.The Manager and the Firefighter are two of our Self-protective parts, and they come up a lot with moms. You might also discover parts that are a caregiver, critic, or coach. I've even named some of mine: iPad girl and Wild Child. Have a little fun with...

What if the secret to feeling calmer, happier, and more fulfilled as a mom isn't about the perfect planner or better time management—but about healing your nervous system?In this powerful conversation, Dr. Amber Curtis joins host Lori Oberbroeckling to explore why so many high-achieving moms still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, even when they're “doing everything right.” You'll learn how subconscious programming and “little-t” trauma shape your daily reactions, why positive thinking isn't enough, and how to finally feel safe, calm, and joyful again.Dr. Amber shares how rewiring your brain and nervous system can transform your parenting, your marriage, and your inner peace...and why your happiness is non-negotiable.

These days can be TOUGH!
This week on Headline Highlights… a teenager does the unthinkable, then marches himself to church to confess. An imposter nurse's shocking deception put over 4,000 patients at risk. The “Online Super Mom” turns out to be many things… but super mom isn't one of them. A man allegedly tries to drown his daughter-in-law, but their relationship is not what it seemed. The Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt saga takes another turn as Ruby's ex-husband files a lawsuit. And in Long Island's Hamptons, a mysterious death leaves more questions than answers.
Do you ever feel like you're running on caffeine, sugar, and sheer willpower… and still crashing by 3 PM?You're not alone, friend.Today on The Secrets of Supermom Show, I'm joined by Sarah Rau, a full-time accountant, health and wellness coach, mom of two busy teens, and Supermom Summer Camp alum. Sarah knows firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in what she calls the survival cycle—running on high-sugar snacks and coffee to get through the day, then winding down with wine at night, only to wake up feeling more tired than before.We're talking about how to break that cycle, boost your energy naturally, and build healthy habits that actually fit your real life—even if you're juggling work, kids, and a to-do list a mile long.And, if you've listened to Episode 247 about cycle syncing or Episode 248 about mineral deficiency, you'll see exactly how Sarah's strategies connect. Just like cycle syncing helps you work with your body's natural rhythms, and mineral balance supports energy from the inside out, Sarah's “bridge” approach helps you move from knowing what to do… to actually doing it, in a way that's sustainable.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!

But this time, we're slowing down to go deeper into why so many women feel tired, moody, or “not themselves”... and how it might be tied to mineral deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and not-so-helpful lab results that miss the bigger picture.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!

Have you felt the pressure to be a “supermom”? We are examining the supermom fallacy, which often accompanies thoughts like, “I'm a failure, I can't keep up with this, and I'm a bad mom.” The problem with trying to be a supermom is the impact on mental health. This theme commonly comes up in therapy, and the idea that we have to do everything and do it well is too much pressure! Join us as we explore this topic, which will resonate with many people. Stacy McCann is a licensed mental health therapist and the owner of Present Moment Counseling Services, specializing in motherhood, postpartum, and beyond. She works with mothers to help them cope with the challenges of motherhood, including burnout, overwhelm, overstimulation, self-advocacy, and an equitable mental and physical load at home. Stacy launched the Supermom Dropout Club, a virtual community for moms who want to take up space, use their voice, and leave their supermom capes behind. She is the mom of a sweet and spicy 5-year-old and lives in the St. Louis area, where she enjoys gardening, cooking, and traveling. Show Highlights: Stacy's path through social work, parent education, and her motherhood specialty today Common characteristics of maternal burnout: overwhelm, loss of identity, feeling invisible, and giving everything they have to others Trying to live up to the “ideal motherhood experience” is impossible! Solutions for moms: Prioritize your own needs and use the right words to talk about it Dealing with the workload at home from a logistics standpoint (How to handle this task with your partner through open communication about standards of care) We still need a shift to support working parents and postpartum mothers.
