Happy 5th Anniversary of Failing Motherhood!

Welcome to the LAST episode, #200.

If there's one thing I will be known for, let it be this mindset shift. And in this episode, I don't just explain it, but I share a clip from a coaching call where we apply it in real time to a common frustration.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARED:

• How to recognize when you're having "first thoughts"
• Creative ways to problem solve struggles with cleaning up their own things
• How to take your power back + no longer feel like the victim

• What I'm going to be working on in the future!

Not giving up. Not giving in. Not settling. Being all in.

Today's episode recounts the story of Abbey, Jake, and their 7-year-old son finding purpose rather than despair, leaning in, offering mutual respect, and feeling like a united front.

From feeling desperate and helpless, having "no good days" to parenting authentically, strategically, enjoying time together again.

From their son never doing something he doesn't want to do, to not saying no anymore.

From considering divorce, to the strongest they've ever felt together.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

• How Jake took a good hard look at his relationship with his son
• What they had to do to get the "Jerry Springer" moments to stop
• The heartbreaking question their son asked and how they transformed his self-esteem

DON'T MISS-

• The power that comes from asking for help

We have a returning guest today!

KC Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor, author, speaker, the creator of the mental health platform, Struggle Care, AND the author of the brand new book, out today... Who Deserves your Love (How to Create Boundaries to Start, Strengthen, or End any Relationship).

In our conversation, we discuss the problems within the traditional self-help industry and the parallels of mom guilt and our effect on the people and the relationships we love.

The heart of our conversation centered around having clarity in our decision making using her "relationship decision tree" and finding more creative ways to sustain relationships rather than the pendulum swings between being a complete doormat and cutting off contact completely.

So if you need more skill building around healthy boundary setting, self-love and what it looks like to be a "good person" in your relationships, let's be honest, this episode is for all of us.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

• Why shame isn't a sustainable motivator
• How to create the "Plinko board" our relationships flow within while remaining in integrity
• The truth behind "if they wanted to, they would"

DON'T MISS-

• A counterintuitive (yet MORE effective) way to spend quality time
