The Good Mom Podcast
Every mom wants to be a good mom but how many times a day do we question this?! We have been conditioned to believe that there are rules for being a good mom but I say your definition is the only one that matters. As a mom with four kids with neurodiversity and a background in education, I believe every child has gifts and talents of genius. I also see life's unexpected trials as chances for us to grow in our strength, love, and connection as a family. Escape from your "bad mom" soundtrack each week to listen in for inspiration on all the mom things, whether neurodiversity is in your family or not. Get the go ahead to have way more fun without guilt, hear new perspectives on old problems, and finally feel like you know what you're doing as a mom.

Defining Good Mom on Your Terms
We can drop the whole idea of a good mom and just agree that we are good moms. We can also admit that some days we are not at our best and maybe a truer way of describing our goodness or badness is just that we are all moms doing the best we can. Whether we believe others' assessments of our mom skills and talents or we believe our own self-evaluation, we cannot seem to get away from the mom report card. My suggestion in this episode is to decide what your top three most important values are as a mom and decide how you showed up or how you want to show with these big 3 in mind. Try out this new perspective and let me know how it works for you.
