Ep. 56: We're figuring out how to work WITH versus against our mom (parent) guilt.

I “should” be doing this. Was I weird at that dinner? Do my friends like me? What more should I be doing to support my kids? Omg they watch too much TV…

And the shame goes on. But Kyira Wackett is on the podcast this week to help us break down this shame spiral and figure out how to work through these very normal ways of thinking.


In this episode, we talk about:

+ What shame resilience and radical acceptance really is (and what it looks like…and what to do)

+ What to do when shame and guilt inevitably creep in as a parent

+ Kyria’s story of shame, people-pleasing and burnout

+ A weekly ritual to do with your partner

+ How to write your own story and make values-aligned decisions as a parent and family
