Today’s episode is getting personal.
Sometimes life is like a living case study - and that is totally the case for our host, Brie Tucker. Today she’s sharing her experience navigating different parenting styles as she co-parents with her ex and how these different approaches to parenting impact her children. We’re diving into the authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting and detailing the differences between the two. We’ll be breaking down the way these parenting style impact parent/child relationships as well as your child’s perception of self, willingness to advocate for themselves, and communication style while at home. At No Guilt Mom we know being a Mom is simultaneously the most difficult, challenging, and rewarding job out there. We hope today’s episode will give you insight into the difficulties so many Moms face with parenting and the tools to parent in a way that feels authentic to you.

Let’s talk about the p-word today, shall we?
That’s right people, we’re talking about PERFECTIONISM and the crushing pressure that comes along with it. If you’ve ever struggled with your self confidence, felt like whatever you do isn’t good enough, or make decisions based on what others will think about you - you might be living as a perfectionist. Living like this is not only a fast track to chronic unhappiness, it’s a burden you don’t need to take on. But that is WAY easier said than done. That’s why we are SO PUMPED to chat with our guest, Bianca Hughes. Bianca is the owner of Authentically Be You Counseling & Wellness Studio, a mental health therapist, and a speaker - she recently spoke at our MOMignited and Happy Mom Summit! She guides women to let go of perfectionism and give themselves permission to connect to their true selves and live authentically. You need to take a listen to the episode Mama so grab some water or wine (or your beverage of choice), a good snack, and enjoy. And don’t forget, you’re perfect just as you are.

In case you didn’t know, the “one size fits all” approach to life is BS. Here’s what we mean: being productive, living minimally, embracing motherhood, and everything else we’re trying to do 24/7/365 looks different for everyone!
Today, our podcast guest is talking all about finding ways to be successful in your life - ESPECIALLY at the start of the day - in a way that works for YOU. Desirae Endres is the host of the top-ranked podcast, Minimal-ish, where she talks about all things realistic minimalism, motherhood, and intentional living each week. In 2018, Desirae and her husband set out to live with less clutter in their home. Soon she found that the journey to less was about so much more than a clutter-free home. Five years later, she has learned to embrace a messy, realistic version of minimalism, and she teaches others how to fit minimalism into their unique life, family, personality, and season. She’s sharing her tips for starting your day off in a way that will help you face whatever the day has in store for you. Enjoy!

The 90s were sickā¦ like literally, sick. Hereās what we mean: the popular body type of the day was being Kate Moss skinny. If you missed the 90s or just werenāt old enough to remember Kate splashed across all the magazines, trust us, it was an unattainable look. While itās easy to fall into feeling like weāve come a long way since those days we want to face the truth: that the way womenās bodies are treated, the messages we receive, and sometimes even the messages we SEND are still perpetuating the idea that being thin means being beautiful. This episode is alllllll about flipping the script (and perspective) surrounding our bodies and saying goodbye FOREVER to the word fat. This episode is for the struggling, the body conscious, the body positive, and the Moms who want to empower their daughters to view their bodies in a loving light. Gear up Mamas, this episode is going to go deep and we are here for it - we hope you are too!Resources We Shared:Join our newsletter!

I. D. K. The three most dreaded letters in the alphabet for Moms everywhere.
There’s nothing more conversation halting than the “I don’t know” response when you ask your kids what they learned, how their day was, what they want to eat… anything. We’re not sure if it’s some kind of kid code or what, but we know it’s definitely not helping us have open and honest conversations that give us insight into their lives and potential struggles. Today we’re breaking down that IDK and talking about how to get your kids to open up - especially when you feel like I don’t know actually means “I’m panicking inside and have feelings I can’t quite explain”. We can’t promise you’ll leave this episode a parent/child relationship expert, but we can say you’ll learn a bit about communication and how it can help you and your child grow together and as individuals. We hope you love this one as much as we do!

Here’s why we love the 40 hour work week: Everything you do while you’re on (or off) the clock for work is financially rewarded… right?
Laughing. Out. Loud!! No matter if you’re currently working full time or the last ”official” job you held was in high school (SAHMs we see you!!) we know that the effort you put forth at work each day is not always rewarded financially or at all (again, SAHMs, we see you!). If that’s the reality of the world we live in, why do we use that approach with our kids when it comes to school and grades? Today we’re doing a little call back to a past episode where we shared that we DON'T financially reward our kids for good grades and let us tell you - this was a hot topic! We’re breaking down why we - and the research - believe that giving your kids money for “good” grades can be harmful, not only in their learning, but to their overall perception of worth at such a formative age. We’ll cover how to approach good grades and broach the not so good ones too. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode as we head into report card season!

If weāve said it once weāve said it a thousand times, being a Mom is like living life in a pressure cooker.Okay, weāve never actually said that but weāre saying it today, and we mean it! Being a Mom comes with a lot of joy and happinessā¦ and stress and worry and self-doubt and pressure andā¦ the list goes on and on. If you feel like youāre in a funk lately (or ever) - like you just can't do anything right or enjoy things that normally bring you joy, you might be grappling with pressure from your own values. Values play a major role in the way we live and EXPERIENCE our lives; it impacts our happiness and even perceived effectiveness in the many roles we hold in our daily lives. Today weāre talking all about WHY our value system is so closely connected to our peace of mind, HOW to identify what truly matters to us (instead of society), and how to live life feeling confident in ourselves.

So you’ve been listening to our podcast for awhile now. It’s actually been so long that you’re afraid to ask… what the heck IS Mom guilt?!
It’s that pit in your stomach you get when you’re headed for a weekend away with your girlfriends and feel like you need to meal prep for your entire family so they don’t starve to death while you’re gone (that’s not going to happen - fyi). Or the constant messaging from the world to be grateful for every spill, sniffle, and blowout because - you’ve got children so be thankful dang it! How about the pressure to minimize the mistakes you make, because motherhood - at least according to social media - is about getting it right the FIRST time. Mom. Guilt. CENTRAL! Today, we’re breaking down exactly what Mom guilt is, what causes it, and how to ditch it so you can live a happier life. Trust us when we say #MomGuilt is everywhere and we are SO not here for it.

Oh that precious moment when you welcome your daughter into the world. It’s full of so many emotions: joy, love, and excitement about all the bows you can put in her hair (if that’s your thing). But then there’s the inevitable and uninvited comment from a family member or sometimes the random stranger in the grocery store: “What a sweet little bundle! But just WAIT until she’s a teenager!”
Insert. Eyeroll. Here. We’re done defaulting to difficult mother-daughter relationships in the teenage years and ready to empower our daughters to use ALL the potential they naturally have.

Unpopular opinion: Sometimes, the gifts we get on Mother’s Day are more work than they’re worth.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. That’s right people - gear up for breakfast in bed and the crumbs/spilled orange juice you’ll probably have to clean up for yourself after you eat it. Sometimes the gifts we get are well intentioned but… miss the mark. A massage is ah-mazing, but who is going to watch the kids or pick them up from school? A night out with your partner? Incredible, but are you in charge of booking a sitter and planning the kids’ dinner? And what about the very soft, but not very necessary robe you received AGAIN this year? As Moms we feel SO MUCH pressure to love every gift our family gives us. Today, we’re saying what we’re all afraid to say: sometimes the planning and additional mental load that accompany these gifts make them more of a burden. Hit play and learn how to get what you really want for Mother’s Day this year, not string attached!

Let’s hear it for apple sauce pouches and a side of… guilt?
We’re sure we don’t have to tell you that social media is PACKED with videos of Moms making some seriously deluxe meals for their kids from scratch, on the daily. Don’t even get us started on the Bentgo lunch box videos. While impressive, these videos can create a LOT of stress, worry, and guilt for those of us who don’t find joy in making meals or just enjoy handing our kids a store bought granola bar. It’s important to know where your priorities are as a Mom and where you want to put your energy - if that’s not food prep (and eventual consumption) for your kids - that is OKAY! We’re talking all about how to let go of the need to feed today and why making homemade everything for your kids isn’t worth it if it’s going to make you more stressed out. It’s like they say when your baby is an infant - fed is BEST and we believe that whole heartedly. Grab your favorite (pre-packaged) snack and take a listen!

Picture this: You go to the gym in your free time (LOL) and see a very athletic human maxing out because it’s #LegDay. They’ve got a CRAZY amount of weight on their squat bar and yet they ask for more because, well, they think they can handle it. Now, imagine if all of that weight was to do lists, errands to run, events to get to, things to sign up for, after school activities, and more. That, my friends, is the mental load of motherhood.
Today we’ve got a guest who is NOT all about maxing out when it comes to squatting your mental load as a mom but rather sharing that weight with your partner. Paige Connell is a working mom of 4 and content creator who brings awareness to the mental load of motherhood and advocates for equitable marriages. As if that isn’t enough, she’s also advocating for affordable childcare (preach!). She has been featured in Scary Mommy, The Today Show, Bloomberg and more! Paige helps mothers put words to their lived experiences so that they can strive for more equitable and happy relationships. The perfect pairing with #LegDay or everyday, this episode is one that speaks straight to the heart.

It’s become the most dreaded question at your child's annual checkup: how much screentime does your child get in a day? If you’re like us, you may have lied about it in the past to feel like you’re “not a bad Mom”. We’re here to tell you: not only are you not a bad Mom, but the pressures surrounding screentime for kids are RIDICULOUS.
That’s right, unpopular opinion today - we are OVER IT! Although a relatively new term in the world of parenting, screentime has suddenly (but not surprisingly) become just one more thing that Moms are in charge of worrying about, managing, and solving. And to be honest… this worry isn’t worth the stress on your mental load. There are all kinds of strategies and quick fixes out there to help you police this behavior with your kids but at the end of the day, we think they end up being a lot of effort, tons of energy, and little reward. Stop fighting the rough fight and relax. Hit play on your screen and let’s do this!
