Cooking is one of those household tasks that never ends. Every day people need to eat.

Being a mom has many demands on a daily basis when it comes to our families, but there are also many demands when it comes to moms and working. As women, we often have to go above and beyond to show that we are worthy and qualified for our work, but are often held up to different standards because we are moms.  In this episode, we welcome Christine Michel Carter to the show. Christine is the author of MOM AF and a Senior Contributor @ForbesWomen. She helps working moms transition to new flexible opportunities they love without sacrificing their income. Christine has 2 kids, 10 and 7, and lives in Baltimore. We have a very lively conversation about how our skills as moms translate into amazing strengths in the work field, who donuts don’t get us any respect, and how to find a new journey or career path when the old one just isn’t doing it for you anymore.Resources We Shared: Happy Parent Checklist - This FREE checklist gives you the step-by-step plan to delegate more to your family, feel less overwhelmed and connect in a positive way! Mom AF by Christine Michel Carter Can Mommy Go To Work? by Christine Michel Carter The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown Dare to Lead by Brene Brown Visit No Guilt Mom  Rate & Review the No Guilt Mom Podcast on Apple here.

A survey done in 2021 shows that more than half of all students report they’re struggling to complete schoolwork and almost half find it hard to focus in class. Why is that? It’s very possible that the standards for teaching in the U.S. are a bit behind the times. Kids have different educational needs, and yet, for the most part, our educational system hasn’t changed much over the past 200 years! One thing is for sure- one size doesn’t fit all for education! In this episode, we are talking with Jerry Kolber, co-creator and narrator of the hit children's podcast WHO SMARTED?, Emmy-nominated co-creator and showrunner of Nat Geo's biggest hit series BRAIN GAMES, and Netflix's BRAINCHILD with Pharrell Williams.We talk about how kids can’t all be taught with the same strategies (read this chapter and then retain it for your next test). Kids have different needs, both emotional and educational and that’s why we need to change the game in education. Resources We Shared:Join our newsletter!

Do you shy away from asking for things that you want because you’re afraid that it will be viewed as selfish? Many of us feel guilty and don’t ask for things that we really want (such as time away from the kids or even spending money on something that is just for us) because we are afraid that we are being so selfish. In this episode we will be discussing what causes that stress and guilt when we want something that can be defined as “selfish”, ask if being selfish is actually a bad thing, and walk you through how to go after and really ask for what you want. Resources We Shared:Join our newsletter!

When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids. She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors!We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.Resources We Shared:Join our newsletter!
