About this listen
In today’s episode, I share a real-life moment that changed everything for me — standing in the bathroom, curling my hair, watching my toddler reach for the toilet brush (yep, that gross thing). And instead of distracting her, instead of giving in, I said no. Firmly. Clearly. And for once, I didn’t feel like the bad guy. I felt like a parent.
This episode dives into:
•Why “gentle” or permissive parenting can become self-abandonment
•The connection between emotional regulation and true boundaries
•How most of us are afraid to say no because we haven’t learned how to manage the reaction — in our kids or ourselves
•The link between mom guilt, burnout, and lack of self-parenting
•And how this all ties into creating a life, business, and energy you actually want to show up for
Because parenting isn’t just about your kids — it’s about YOU, too. And if you’re a mom trying to create content or build a brand or just reclaim your identity… this realization might be the shift you’ve been needing.
