Have you ever told yourself, “I’m not going to yell at my kids today,” and then lost your cool before breakfast? You’re not the only one—and nothing is wrong with you.
In this episode, we talk about why it’s so hard to stay calm sometimes. It has to do with how your brain is built. Your brain is always trying to protect you. It wants to avoid pain, stay comfy, and save energy. That’s great for staying safe, but not so helpful when your kids are arguing or not listening. When things get too stressful, your brain thinks there’s danger—even if it’s just loud voices or a big mess. Yelling or snapping is your brain’s fast way to feel in control again.
But here’s the secret—it’s not about learning a new trick to stay calm. The real change happens when you know why you want to respond differently. Maybe it’s because you want a strong bond with your kids as they grow up. Or maybe you want to break old habits in your family, protect your marriage from constant fights, or just feel proud of how you handle tough moments.
That reason—your why—will help you keep going, even on hard days. Like I say in the episode, “Your reason why is the thing that will keep you going when quitting feels easier.”
We also talk about the kind of mom you want to be in the future. She still has hard days, but she handles them with calm instead of yelling. Every time you pause, take a deep breath, or make a different choice, you’re becoming that future version of yourself.
You don’t have to get coaching to make this change, but it can really help. Coaching gives you support, real tools, and someone to walk with you as you grow. That’s something books and podcasts alone can’t always give you.
