If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly messing up as a mom — snapping at your kids, forgetting things, drowning in laundry, or just wishing someone would give you a gold star for trying — you are so not alone. Maybe you feel like you’re failing at homemaking, or maybe you're just exhausted from trying to do it all “the right way.”

In this episode, I sit down with Susan Heid — mom of four, parenting mentor, and the warm hug behind one of the most comforting Instagram accounts I’ve ever seen. We talk about what it really means to be a confident mom, why so many of us feel overwhelmed and underqualified, and how to stop trying to follow invisible rules that were never made for us in the first place.

Susan shares real, honest advice about parenting, managing a home, and ditching the pressure to be perfect. We talk about why expectations can sabotage your relationships, how to let go of the victim mindset, and the surprising power of crappy wins — because “done” truly is better than perfect.

Whether you're parenting little ones, teenagers, or just trying to stay on top of dishes and your mental health… this conversation is packed with validation, laughter, and practical tips to help you feel more capable and confident — starting today.
