Motherhood is a whirlwind of emotions, and sometimes, despite our best intentions, the overwhelm takes over. Maybe it’s the relentless to-do list, the school holiday chaos, or just the weight of juggling everything, there comes a moment when we snap. And then? The guilt creeps in.

In this episode, Dr Renee White sits down to reflect on one of those raw parenting moments, the kind we don’t often talk about. Just two hours after an emotional outburst with her child, Renee recorded this to unpack the why, the how, and most importantly, the what’s next. If you’ve ever felt the sting of mum rage or the heaviness of guilt, this episode is for you.

You’ll hear about:

• Understanding Mum Rage: What triggers those intense moments and why they’re more common than you think.
• Repair and Reconnect: Steps to mend your bond with your child after an emotional outburst.
• Processing Guilt in a Healthy Way: Tools to work through your feelings, like journaling, movement, and self-compassion.
• Role Modelling for Your Kids: How navigating your emotions can teach your children about resilience and empathy.

You’re not alone in this journey, and those tough moments don’t define you as a parent. What matters most is how we show up afterward, ready to reconnect and grow.
