This is one of those episodes I felt called to record because I know so many of us have been here. You love your child with your whole heart, and yet, in certain seasons, you find yourself thinking, I just don’t like them very much right now.

That doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you human.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing three tools that have helped me move through those really hard parenting stretches—when one child is pushing every button I have—and find my way back to affection, connection, and even joy.

We’ll talk about:

💜 How your child’s “hardest” traits may actually be their biggest strengths in disguise

💜 Why the words you say about your child (even when they’re not around) can shape how you see them

💜 What to do when your child is constantly seeking negative attention—and how you can gently redirect that cycle

I’ll also tell you about a simple mindset shift that changed the way I experience motherhood—plus the journaling tool I created to help me live it out day by day.

If you’re in a tough season with one of your kids, I hope this episode feels like sitting down with a trusted friend who truly gets it—and who can gently offer some ideas for how to keep going.
