Have you ever felt like parenting is way harder than it should be? Like no matter how many bedtime stories you read or how often you try to stay calm, the meltdowns and mom guilt just don’t quit? This week’s episode is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling it and start seeing parenting for what it really is: a skill you can learn.I’m joined by my dear friend and client Dr. Sarah Crystal, clinical psychologist turned parent coach, and she’s here to blow your mind with the truth that parenting isn’t something you’re supposed to just know how to do. We talk about how this shift in mindset changes everything—from how we show up with our kids to how often we find ourselves in the pantry stress-eating ice cream.Dr. Sarah breaks down her Behavior Needs Pyramid and gives you the tools to decode what’s really going on underneath the tantrums (hint: it’s probably not about the popsicle). This one is packed with golden nuggets for every mom who’s felt like they’re “doing it wrong” and wondered why it’s all so hard. Plus, we’re diving deep into how nervous system regulation, validation, and even sugar affect your kid’s behavior—and your own emotional eating.In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why parenting is a learned skill (not something you're born knowing how to do) • What’s really going on under your kid’s behavior—and how to decode it • How unmet needs lead to meltdowns (in kids and moms!) • Why taking care of yourself is the most important parenting strategy of all • How to talk about food with your kids in a way that’s empowering, not damaging • Why setting boundaries isn’t control—it’s loveThis one is for every mama who wants to stop guessing and start parenting with purpose—and YES, it’s so tied into your weight loss journey.

Hey mama—are you stressed? Like, REALLY stressed? And doing everything you're supposed to without any results? Then this one's for you. In this week’s show, Laura sits down with Kama, a Yummy Mummy alum who traded constant overwhelm and stress-eating for confidence, calm, and radical self-love.Kama is a full-time financial advisor, wife, and mom of two who spent years doing “all the right things”—macro tracking, 60-hour work weeks, constant workouts—but still felt stuck in a cycle of weight loss and regain. In this heartfelt and honest conversation, she shares how the Yummy Mummy Experience helped her finally break free.You’ll hear how she went from waking up dreading the day to becoming the calmest, kindest version of herself (yes, even at pizza parties). And if you’ve ever hated journaling? Kama was there too—but now it’s her secret weapon. This episode is full of mic-drop moments, including a powerful story about a number on a scale, a comment from her husband, and a self-love response that’ll shift your whole perspective.Listen in to hear:- The difference between *hard* work and *heavy* work (and why one fuels you and the other drains you)- Why journaling worked for Kama—even as a busy, skeptical mom- The real reason willpower and macro counting never gave her lasting results- How the Yummy Mummy method helped her drop 30+ pounds and love who she sees in the mirror- Why it’s not about food being the focus anymore—and how that creates real freedom- How investing in herself (yes, even financially!) gave her the ROI of a lifetime- How Kama’s calm has rippled through her whole family—and what she’s teaching her kids nowIf you’ve ever wondered whether true change is possible while living a full, busy life—this episode is your proof.✨ Ready to be our next success story?
