In this episode, Holly, Hannah, and Meredith sit down with Alli Worthington (author, speaker, business coach (Holly’s actual business coach!), and mom of five) to talk about what it looks like to become an emotionally healthy mom… so we can raise emotionally healthy kids. What we unpack in this conversation 1) Why moms feel so much guilt (and why it’s getting worse) Alli doesn’t mince words: social media can be toxic for moms. Because your brain starts believing “everybody is doing everything,” when you’re really watching a highlight reel + a business model. Instead, find your trusted people, and go to them when things feel merky. 2) Confidence doesn’t come first… reps come first We talk about how confidence is built through action, mistakes, and evidence over time, especially in motherhood. Stop believing the lie that one mistake can mess everything up and instead put effort into becoming the mom you want to be...over and over again. 3) What “regulation” actually means in real life Not in a fluffy way. In a “how do I calm myself down before I snap” way.Tools that came up: * Counting down (and saying out loud what you’re doing) * Taking a pause before disciplining * Naming what’s happening in your body (hot, sweaty, escalated) * Preparing for your predictable “activation moments” (car line, dinner rush, bedtime) 4) Overwhelm makes reactivity inevitable We talk about how chronic overload pushes you into emotion-brain (amygdala) and takes your thinking-brain offline, which is why you say things you don’t even agree with later…and how to stop this hamster wheel. 5) “Over-functioning” (aka: doing too darn much)… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/get-mom-ready-podcast-7501224/episodes/remaining-you-while-raising-them-with-business-coach-and-author-alli-worthington/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/get-mom-ready-podcast-7501224/remaining-you-while-raising-them-with-business-coach-and-author-alli-worthington.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
