073: From Mom Guilt to Growth: Emotional Regulation for Moms Who Want to Raise Problem Solvers with Emily Hamblin

Katie Kimball Episode 73

Emily’s stories are going to get your head nodding in empathy and connection - we’ve all been there with the kid who just will NOT put their shoes on, brush their teeth, or do as we ask!

If you’ve ever felt the guilt after exploding all over your kids, those little beings you LOVE so much, you need this interview.

We talk all about emotional regulation, how moms need to work on their own big emotions so that they can better help their kids, and how to raise emotionally healthy families. Today, we touch on:

  • Motherhood is no joke! It’s way harder than it looks from the outside, especially when your own emotions get involved.
  • In the heat of a meltdown, kids aren’t being “bad,” they’re stuck in their emotional brain, not their thinking brain.
  • There’s no perfect time to work on emotional growth. Start where you are.
  • Getting support isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.
  • Kids learn emotional regulation by watching us. Imperfect parenting still teaches powerful lessons when we’re honest and intentional.
  • Raising critical thinkers and independent problem-solvers starts with slowing down, naming emotions, and solving problems with our kids.
