No Guilt Mom

We've all done it. Something happens (or sometimes, almost nothing happens) and you end up losing it and you yell with such fury that your voice cracks. We’ve all been there. And often right afterward, we feel ashamed or guilt-stricken that we yelled. In this podcast episode, we will share that you aren’t alone and that there are ways to break the habit of yelling, how to be aware of what’s going on around you when you are feeling frustrated and feel that need to yell, strategies that you can use to help you not yell when you’re upset, and finally how to handle things after yelling.Resources we shared:Patient Parent Challenge - Join us this April for a month long challenge that will give you the strategies you need to have a calmer and more peaceful home by changing the way you react to your kids' behaviors. Balance VIP - Are you stressed out, feeling like you're doing it all on your own?

Life can be both rewarding and challenging at the same time. We often have what we believe to be a certain path for our lives and what we want for our families, but sometimes life throws us an unexpected curveball. We can feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and scared. We can feel lost in what our lives were meant to be and what our purpose is. Sometimes we just want to throw our arms up in the arm in complete frustration. But instead of doing that, what if you take this opportunity to get your bearings and find what you’re truly meant to do? And in the meantime, show your kids that we all can do scary things, and even the unexpected isn’t such a bad thing.In this podcast episode, we’re joined by Dave Hollis. Dave is an author, podcast host, and entrepreneur and helps small business owners as an integrator/consultant. He a busy dad to four kids ages 15, 14, 10, and 5, has been a foster parent many times over, and he just released a new children's book called Here's to Your Dreams!: A Teatime with Noah Book.We get candid about life and parenting and how sometimes, we’re so sure of what our life is meant to be; only to realize that we have a completely different journey awaiting us. And how when we share those experiences with our kids, how we can not only survive, but thrive throughout those unknowns- it can help build those skills in them to believe that we can do scary things.

In this podcast episode, we tackle the thing many of us do, but aren’t even aware of. Allowing our fear and anxiety to take the wheel when we’re parenting. It would be easy to call this helicopter parenting, but it is so much more. This “parenting through fear” is driven by our anxiety and fear that something bad will happen if we leave our kids to their own devices or if they make a wrong choice.But there are things we can do to nip this parenting bad habit in the bud. We share 3 easy ways to stop parenting through fear and start positive parenting with confidence!Resources We Shared In This Episode:Happy Mom Summit A FREE online virtual event that brings you expert-led sessions, and a thriving community of like-minded moms ready to kick the guilt while raising respectful and responsible kids.

Need a little bit of peace to get dinner ready or complete a task and your youngest child demands your attention?  Here's how our Balance VIP member Rachel solved that issue by asking her oldest one to help out.

We all have those moments in parenting where it seems like your child is just trying to push your buttons. It feels like it’s you against them. But what if we told you that’s not it at all, and that by changing the way you react in those pivotal moments, you could have a much calmer experience with those button-pushing, big-emotion moments?In this podcast we are chatting with Mr. Chazz, the Founder of Mr. Chazz's Leadership, Parenting and Teaching Podcast, parent coach, speaker, teacher, and content creator. He helps adults understand and guide children, Breaking Generational Cycles, all while using Conscious Discipline techniques.Mr. Chazz shares with us why we can get more effective results with our kids when we change our reaction to their behavior, rather than trying to change their behavior, and 3 practical tips to help children solve problems and move through challenges. Resources We Shared:Mr. Chazz Instagram2023 Happy Mom Summit – a FREE virtual event bringing you expert-led sessions, and a thriving community of like-minded moms ready to kick the guilt and reclaim your joy, all while raising respectful and responsible kids.

As mothers, we often feel guilty for having opposing feelings about motherhood. We tell ourselves that we should be grateful for everything that we do have which only negates our feeling when we aren't “loving” being a mom at the moment. But guess what, you can be both happy and sad about being a moms. That’s okay. In this podcast we talk with Kelly Smith, a globally celebrated yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Yoga For You, and host of the podcasts, Mindful In Minutes and Meditation Mama. Kelly believes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation and encourages her students to find their own personal practice, listen to their bodies, and find inner joy by accessing their most authentic selves and owning their power. We talk about how sometimes we are just “touched out” and how important it is to be kinder to yourself, and allow yourself to feel happy and sad about being a mom.Resources We Shared:Yoga for You - Learn more about Kelly Smith Meditation teacher, podcaster, and yoga teacher trainer. I believe that yoga is more than poses, it's a way of life. It is a way of igniting your mind, body, and soul.Visit No Guilt MomNo Guilt Mom YouTube Channel Watch this podcast episode on our YouTube Channel!

We all know that lack of sleep affects how you learn and develop. And we know that most teens don't get enough sleep. They stay up late at night and then have to get up and start their school day before many of us parents even start our work day. But what if we told you there’s a reason for that, a biological one, and that chances are good that your teen's current school start time conflicts with the current research on teen brain development?In this podcast episode we are talking with Lisa Lewis. She’s a parenting journalist and author of book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen. Lisa focuses on the intersection of parenting, public health and education, and helped spark California's landmark healthy-school-start-times law.We talk about how sleep deprivation heightens impulsive & risky behaviors (especially in teens), why the current school start schedule is the way it is in the U.S., and what parents can do to help their teen get enough sleep.Resources We Shared In This Episode:Lisa L.

Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away. You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch. So you ask again, and your kids tells you that they will do it in a minute. Then you come in the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself. If this sounds familiar to you, then you will love this episode.

It’s estimated that about 32% of American teens have anxiety. Are we surprised? Our kids have a lot on their plates: getting good grades, social media, and everything involved with that, navigating and maintaining friendships. And it gets even more difficult when you add anxiety to the mix. And as moms, we often feel like it’s our job to take it all on, support, and even fix it all for our kids. Guess what? You’re not supposed to be your child’s therapist! You can’t fix it all.In this episode, we are talking with Regine Galanti. She’s the founder of Long Island Behavioral Psychology, a private practice in NY, and Author of Anxiety Relief for Teens  her newest book, When Harley Has Anxiety. She specializes in helping kids, teens, and parents manage anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specifically giving them tools to help them face their fears.We share all the fears we have as parents about our kids' anxiety, how our own beliefs can affect how we view anxiety in our kids and what we can actually do to help our kids if we feel they’re struggling with anxiety. Resources We Shared:When Harley Has Anxiety: A Fun CBT Skills Activity Book to Help Manage Worries and Fears by Regine Galanti PhD - When worries and fears come along, Harley the Hedgehog can handle them—and so can your child!

When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids. She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors!We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.Resources We Shared:Calm & Happy Parenting Time to get your kids to listen and help out more without the fighting!  This is your complete solution to shift the responsibility of "doing everything for everyone" to your family and to give you the kind of relationship you want with your kids and the entire family!Beyond Behaviors: Using Brain Science and Compassion to Understand and Solve Children's Behavioral Challenges by Mona Delahooke, PhDBrain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids by Mona Delahooke, PhDVisit No Guilt MomRate & Review the No Guilt Mom Podcast on Apple here.
