No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms

Many of us are guilty of it. We love our family to pieces. And most of the time, we love being a mom as well. But between all the hats we wear, all the responsibilities that we have...many of us don’t have much that is just something for us. I’m talking about finding something that is just for you.Outside of being a mom. Outside of being a spouse. Something that is just yours and you can feel passionate about!Something that brings you joy!That may be taking up a crafting hobby, hiking, playing a musical instrument, or something else entirely. Today we spoke with Pamela Pekerman, CEO/founder Hustle Like a Mom, mompreneur cheerleader, and regular TV correspondent on Mom Boss Life. Thru 1-on-1 and group coaching, as well as virtual summits and social media, she empowers women to build a successful bridge from mom life to entrepreneur life.She shares with us why having a passion outside the family ecosystem makes her (and many of us) a better mom. And of course, how to diversify your joy!Resources we shared:Hustle Like A MomDownload the Transcripts HEREVisit No Guilt MomRate & Review the No Guilt Mom Podcast on Apple here.

Mean kids. They’re everywhere. Let’s face it. These kids who tease are not horrible human beings (although our mama bear senses want to say they are), they just lack social skills. In today’s podcast we talk about the mean kids, and how if we want our kids to avoid these mean kids and seek out positive relationships, we as parents, need to teach them social skills. Resources We Shared:Helping Kids Build Better Friendships with Audrey Monke5 Reasons Your Last Family Meeting FailedDownload the transcripts HEREVisit No Guilt MomRate & Review the No Guilt Mom Podcast on Apple here.

Let’s be honest. We all need friends in life. And not just friends, but good, solid, healthy friendships. But do our kids really know how to do that? Do they really understand how to build a better friendship? We do our best to teach our kids everything they need to succeed in life. But many of us just kind of gloss over the skills of making and cultivating friendships. We may nudge our kids to go talk to other kids on the playground or ask more questions about that one classmate who when our kid talks about them, they seem to light up. But honestly, how many of us taught our kids at a basic level how to introduce themselves to others, how to find a common interest with others, and how to keep that connection going?  Today we speak with Audrey Monke, a Camp Owner/Director at Gold Arrow Camp, host of Sunshine Parenting podcast/website - Author of Happy Campers: 9 Summer Camp Secrets for Raising Kids Who Become Thriving Adults. She specializes in raising happy, self-reliant, kind, responsible kids using secrets from summer camp!

They’re driving you crazy. The yelling. The screaming. And you are thinking to yourself- this can’t be normal. This can’t be okay. How am I supposed to deal with the fighting? Before you grab that glass of wine or hide in the closet to stress eat, we have something to share with you. In many cases, it’s okay to let not only let them argue, but conflict can be healthy.  Today we speak with KJ Dell’Antonia. She’s the author of the books “How to Be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every Minute” and the novel “The Chicken Sisters”, as well as the former editor and lead writer of the Motherlode blog at the NYT and the co-host of the #AmWriting Podcast. KJ helps people recognize that our happiness is more about how we ourselves behave and react, not about our circumstances.Resources We Shared: The Motherlode Blog #AMWriting PodcastKJ Dell’AntoniaHow to Be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every MinuteThe Chicken Sisters Dr. Sheryl’s PodcouchDownload the Transcripts HEREVisit No Guilt MomRate & Review the No Guilt Mom Podcast on Apple here.
