Big Little Feelings

If somebody else packing lunches feels borderline erotic... I wrote this week’s Substack for you. 😂🤍

We’re talking solo CVS runs, Trader Joe’s parking lot therapy sessions, canceled plans that feel euphoric, and why so many millennial moms have started treating tiny moments of survival like luxury experiences.

Because a hot coffee, an uninterrupted shower, and ten minutes alone shouldn’t be the only things getting us through the week.

It’s time to break up with punishment-based discipline.

Spanking, yelling, threats, the “naughty chair” - sure, they might stop behavior in the moment, but only because they trigger *fear*. And fear flips kids into fight, flight, or freeze… not learning.

Punishment asks: “How do I make this stop?”
Discipline asks: “What skill is missing?”

Research shows punishment-based approaches actually lead to MORE unwanted behavior over time (🚨), which is why so many parents feel stuck in the yell → calm down → repeat cycle (it’s not you, and it’s not your kid).

So we’re ditching the old-school approach and following the science.

When discipline protects a child’s self-esteem, builds connection, and teaches skills… that’s where the real change happens.

✨ Short-term: behaviors start to shift without shame or fear.
✨ Long-term: your child comes to you for life, because they trust you.

✏️ Want to learn how to discipline in a way that both WORKS to change tough behaviors & protects your child’s self esteem? Struggling with tantrums & all things toddler? Drop a “HELP” below and we’ll send our program that tackles tough behaviors while building resilience directly to you.

Most “bad behavior” isn’t defiance - it’s a kid without the skills yet. And skills don’t grow from punishment, pressure, or shame.

They grow from co-regulation, boundaries, practice, and safe leadership.

If you’re ready for behavior tools that actually work in real life, our course teaches you exactly how.

Maycember is absolutely wrecking us right now. Not one mom I know is actually okay. Not really.

We’re all just trying to survive the school emails, performances, spirit days, emotional labor, sports, snacks, remembering, planning, working, parenting, the pressure to somehow hold everything together while pretending we’re “grateful” and “fine.”

And meanwhile?? Every woman secretly thinks she’s the only one drowning.

This week’s podcast episode might be the most important thing we’ve ever recorded for moms.

We tackle:
⚡️ Why modern motherhood feels psychologically impossible
⚡️ The reason so many women feel like they’re failing
the neuroscience of overload + mental load
⚡️ Perfectionism, burnout, shame, comparison, and the invisible pressure women carry
⚡️ Why you are NOT behind at life
⚡️ And how to stop feeling like you’re failing every second of every day

If you’ve been hanging on by a thread lately… this ep is your exhale and the big loving hug you deserve, you gorgeous queen 👑

Parenting doesn’t need to be fear, shame, or perfection-based to “work”. Parenting does need boundaries, accountability, AND connection, emotional safety, and parents who are allowed to be humans too.

The goal isn’t raising perfectly obedient kids... it’s raising kids that can handle their emotions, communicate their needs, and trust themselves in growth. And to do that, you need the right tools. That’s WHY we created a behavioral program that over a million families have used to help with tantrums, power struggles, big feelings, boundary testing, and so much more.
