My guest today, Holly Murphy, is accomplished in their profession, a devoted parent in love with their kids, a vibrant personality, AND theyâre open about how if they knew what they knew NOW back THEN, they would not become a parent.
You might not agree with Holly, but I know theyâre not the only one. If thereâs one thing we are on Failing Motherhood- itâs honest - and thatâs why stories like Hollyâs have a place here.
There is nothing more serious than making the commitment to become a parent. Do you truly know what youâre signing up for? Can you?

It's that time of year, when your strong-willed child keeps it together all day at school then lets it all fall apart with you the second they get in the car.
How to meet them where they're at while still setting boundariesWhy saying "Stop." "Don't" or "Calm down" won't work and what will insteadQuestions to ask instead of "how was your day?"
I packed this episode full of perspective, mindset shifts, tangible strategies and preventative measures to equip you with the "game face" you need to tackle this transition.

A special gift for you this week, courtesy of our friends at Moms Talk Autism. Not only did they join me for last weekâs episode, but they interviewed me on their show and were kind enough to share it with our audience so I could share it here.
My work specializes in helping families who are struggling with Neurodivergent traits in their child but donât have a diagnosis yet or whose child does not meet the criteria for a specific diagnosis.
In this episode of Moms Talk Autism, I share what traits to look for in your child and what to do when youâre in the messy middle, in hopes this conversation is a helpful stepping stone to finding solutions for your family.
After you tune into this episode, donât forget to head over to Moms Talk Autism and check it out... lots of great vulnerable conversations, topics and resources for families with Neurodivergent and Autistic kids!

Today Iâm sitting down with Brittney and Shannon, two out of the four moms from Moms Talk Autism, a podcast where good friends share their journeys figuring out in real time how to best support their kids and themselves, discussing school, family balance, siblings, grief, therapies, social issues, behaviors, delays, diagnosis advocacy, marriage, and more.
Our conversation highlights their individual stories, Brittney with four kids - two with Autism, both with very different needs and Shannon with an 18 year old and 10 y/o daughter with Autism. They offer honesty, wisdom and advice for other parents in the trenches with them - where thereâs no rulebook and a lot of pressure, spanning from protecting your peace, finding your people, and building a new dream.
As we wrap up, they reflect on the beautiful ways theyâve changed as people as a result of parenting their kids.

Have you ever been told, "I HATE YOU" by your child?
Or even worse "You're not coming to my birthday party!"
Parents of strong-willed kids (esp. mom) can become the scapegoat for the anger they harbor, and it can lead to parents hearing things like âYou donât love meâ.This often causes a spiral into permissiveness to avoid conflict, anxiety, and/or a lot of self-doubt as a parent.
Spoiler Alert: They donât hate you. They hate feeling crazy and all alone with their BIG emotions. And we do too.

You are gonna be pretty hard-pressed to find more honesty than what is inside this conversation! In today's episode, I have the honor of interviewing Joseph and Sarah, my clients + parents of 6- and 21-year-old daughters.
The breaking point that made change possibleJoseph's powerful realizations that allowed him to stop fighting with HarperA new way to define "gentle parenting", esp. for strong-willed kids
Together they share the shifts that made it possible to stop triggering their daughter's defense mechanism, get on the same page, and have an approach and home full of mutual respect.
Fair warning - Joseph describes himself as a blunt, "tell-it-like-it-is" kind of guy, and that is exactly what we get from him. No fluff, no sugarcoating; the real deal.
He has gone from being incredibly skeptical of gentle parenting itself, let alone my program or working with me, to being on my podcast.
This episode might speak deepest to Gen X'ers, dads, or any/all parents that were raised not to ask for help.

Happy Father's Day, dads!
My guests today, Kevin + Evan, are two stay-at-home dad comedians trying to let parents know the struggle is normal and weâre doing better than we think.
You might already follow them as theyâve been featured on Good Morning America, Momsplaining with Kristen Bell, & Today and go viral often on TikTok and Instagram for bits like "Dad Press Conferences".âTheyâve set out to be relatable dads that can poke fun out of the bizarre experience that parenting is, fight the stigma of the bar being on the floor for dads and give parents permission to laugh at themselves and their kids, knowing theyâre not alone.
They say they're failing fatherhood, but I pull some great parenting perspective out of them inside this episode!

Ryan Allen, LPCC-S, LPC, is a licensed therapist with a decade of expertise working with young children and their families. A parent of two young kids, Ryan creates free resources for nearly 1 million parents and child caregivers on both TikTok and IG, providing guidance and support to shift away from traditional punitive approaches towards fostering environments of mutual respect.
I intentionally bring up several controversial topics to get his thoughts.
Is it true....
That therapists are perfect parents?That your pediatricianâs advice is the golden rule?That kids grow out of behaviors?That you shouldnât say âgood jobâ?That you have to read to your kids every night?That all it takes to extinguish a behavior is playing your cards right?Is there such a thing as a naughty or bad kid?If your child knows better and does it anyway, isnât that manipulation? Shouldnât you take it personally?Do we need to fix a behavior right away or else it will get worse?
Two questions to ask yourself to actually stop a negative behaviorThe insight that completely shifted Ryanâs professional approachAn alternative approach to the red/green/yellow clip charts

Today you get a true behind the scenes look at what parenting a strong-willed child looks like at someone else's house.
Laura and Mike are full-time working parents with 3 kids living in Minneapolis.
Just a few months ago, they describe what parenting felt like - powerless, volatile, unpredictable. They felt lost, with no toolkit and no shared understanding.
After sharing the barriers they had to overcome to get support, they narrate what really stuck with them through the work that they did on themselves through their time inside Wholeheartedly CALM, my 3 month group coaching program.
They both describe the feeling of empowerment they found through a lot of self reflection and just how amazing it feels to get to enjoy their kids more again. Their kids enjoy being enjoyed as well!â

Failing Motherhood is 4 years old and Wholeheartedly is 5! Weâre taking this opportunity to reflect on the last two years and the lessons Iâve learned - some easily, some the hard way.
Entrepreneurship is such a similar journey to parenting - you donât know what youâre getting into exactly, itâs much harder than anticipated, it requires a lot of self-work and growth, and itâs riddled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. You have to take it one day at a time and make new decisions with every piece of new information.

This week weâre taking parenting tips from Hello Fresh!
In ways you may not have realized, being a parent is sort of like working in customer service. In our case, the customer isnât always right, but the way we handle conflict may invite our child to ask for our manager! :)
Your goal as a parent is to build credibility and trust in your âbrandâ rather than bad reviews! As I reveal the two mistakes well-intentioned parents make, you'll be invited to reflect on your default reaction and formulate a balanced response instead.

Which one are you? Which one is your partner?
Not only does the second half of your parenting life begin when you understand you're parenting a strong-willed child, but your self awareness sky rockets when you realize you're a Worrying Warrior.
Your next step is to evaluate whether you're parenting with a "Just tell me what to do" parent or an "It is what it is" parent.
In this episode, I break down each of these three parenting approaches, the motives behind their actions, and wedge of divide that grows between parents that feel they need to overcompensate for the other.IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARED...
