What happens after you lose your temper as a parent?

Because let’s be honest—every parent has that moment.

In this special collaboration episode, I’m sharing a personal story I don’t often lead with… becoming a mom at 18 and navigating parenting before I had the tools, awareness, or emotional regulation skills I teach today.

And I’m pairing that with a powerful conversation from Pam Howard, who shares her own “mom meltdown” experiences and what she’s learned about what actually matters in those moments.

If you’ve ever:

• Yelled and immediately regretted it
• Reacted in a way that didn’t reflect the parent you want to be
• Felt guilt, shame, or fear that you’ve damaged your relationship with your child

This episode is for you.

We’re talking about:

• Why parents lose control (even the calm ones)
• What’s really happening in those triggering moments
• The difference between reacting and responding
• Why repair is the most important relationship skill you can learn
• How to move out of shame and back into connection

Because your worst parenting moment is not what defines your relationship.

What you do after is.
