Ever find yourself spiraling after a small parenting “fail”? Like that time you lost your cool, forgot something important, or—like me—had a full-on coughing fit in the middle of a live video? 😅

In this episode of Revive in 5, I’m getting real about what it’s like to navigate perfectionism in parenting and the stories we tell ourselves when things don’t go “just right” or we are dealing with mom guilt.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why perfectionism might be making parenting harder (not better)
• The 90-second rule for emotions—and why we feel stuck longer
• How I use the Breathe LOVE mantra to stop shame spirals in the moment
• Three real tools I come back to when I feel myself spiraling
  
  

This one’s for the moms and dads who are tired of trying to “do it all perfectly” and just want to feel calm, confident, and connected again.

🎧 Listen in and let go of the pressure. You don’t have to parent perfectly—you just have to keep showing up with love.
