20 | For the Mama Rung Out by Life: Emotional Regulation for Hard Days
Description
Parenting Beyond Meltdowns is Ranked in the Top 3% of Podcasts Worldwide!
Have you ever felt judged or misunderstood by someone who doesn’t truly know your heart or your child’s?
Do comments from others ever leave you questioning your worth as a mama, even when you know you’re trying your best?
Are you carrying emotional weight from people’s opinions, assumptions, or labels that don’t reflect who you really are?
Have you ever prayed, “Lord, help me release what others are placing on me,” because the pressure feels heavy?
In this episode, I’m coming to you from a very real, very tender place. This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today but after a long, emotionally heavy day filled with unexpected challenges and hurtful words, I felt led to show up exactly as I was. Not polished. Not prepared. Just honest. Because sometimes, life hits hard in ways that have nothing to do with meltdowns, defiance, or the strong-willed or neurodivergent child you’re raising and everything to do with circumstances completely outside your home.
In this raw and vulnerable conversation, I share the kind of encouragement I needed myself: grounding truth, emotional regulation reminders, and a faith-centered reset for the moments when someone else’s words shake you more than you expected. You’ll be reminded that other people’s judgments do not define who you are as a mama or your strong-willed or neurodivergent child (ADHD, ODD, PDA, ASD).
In this episode, you’ll find a soft place to land a moment to breathe, release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying, and remember that the Holy Spirit meets you right in the middle of your worn-out, overwhelmed places.
My hope is that you walk away feeling seen, steadied, and anchored in truth on the days when life feels heavier than your heart knows how to hold.
Challenge of the Week:
Grab a journal and ask the Father to tell you who He says you are.
Write down every truth He speaks to your heart.
Then, on another page, release the words or judgments that others have placed on you and ask Him to rewrite them with His truth.
