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.
