About this listen
Do moms really need to stay calm all the time? In this Worthy Mother Podcast episode, Emily talks with Mackenzie Kinmond, parenthood transformation coach and attachment-focused therapist, about the pressure to regulate emotions perfectly, and why it’s making parenting harder, not easier.
Together, they explore:
- Why emotional regulation isn’t about being calm 24/7
- How shame fuels dysregulation in motherhood
- The surprising role of joy in moving out of survival mode
- Practical ways to reset your baseline and build emotional resilience
Whether you’re overwhelmed by parenting advice or simply tired of white-knuckling your way through hard days, this conversation offers relief, compassion, and a fresh perspective.
