“Am I really procrastinating — or am I actually avoiding?”

Have you ever found yourself scrolling your phone instead of cooking — only to suddenly jump into the kitchen the moment your child asks you to play? On the outside, it looks like procrastination. But often, it’s actually something deeper.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore why this happens. Sometimes it’s simple distraction. Other times, it’s avoidance — a way our minds protect us when we’re overwhelmed. We’ll also talk about how old wounds from our own childhood can affect the way we respond to our kids, and why half-listening or reacting quickly doesn’t give the connection that our children really need.

Mama, the answer isn’t just to hide your phone or try harder. Real, lasting change comes from slowing down, healing, and learning to regulate your emotions — so you can respond with presence and compassion.
