Bonus points if you're currently listening to this while hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace!

Ep #118 When Your Best Doesn't Feel Like It's Enough
We’ve all had those moments where we put in so much effort, tried so hard, and still fell short. It’s frustrating, humbling, and, let’s be honest, sometimes it makes us want to give up. But what if those moments were exactly what we needed?In today’s episode, I’m diving into what happens when life doesn’t go as planned. Whether it’s your personal goals or watching your kids struggle to achieve theirs, this topic is close to my heart because I’ve been there. (Oh, have I been there.) From learning to drive on the left side of the road to parenting through countless meltdowns, I’ve learned that those “not enough” moments are some of the most important of all.We’re going to talk about why your best sometimes doesn’t feel good enough—and what to do about it. Here’s what we’ll cover:What is “your best,” really? Breaking it down into four parts: skill, attitude, commitment, and resilience.Why failure doesn’t mean you’re falling short—it means you’re growing.The secret to teaching your kids how to handle disappointment by modeling it yourself.How to close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be (without beating yourself up).Why the journey matters so much more than the destination.This episode is full of practical insights and personal stories to help you shift your perspective on failure—for yourself and for your kids. Because when we embrace the messy, imperfect process, we give our kids permission to do the same.A Favorite Takeaway from Today:“When we redefine failure as just another step in the process, it stops feeling like the end. It becomes part of what’s making us.”Here’s the thing: Parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, giving it your all, and knowing that even when it doesn’t work out, you’re still moving forward. It’s about finding joy in the journey—even the messy parts—and helping your kids see that they can, too.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast

Ep #117 This is What’s Happening: The SOS Method for Parenting Without Losing It
Ever feel like you’re caught in a parenting Groundhog Day? The tantrums, the fights, the endless messes... all while you’re trying your hardest to hold it together?Same. In this episode, we’re diving into something I call the SOS Method—a simple but powerful way to shift out of survival mode and into connection. We’re talking about how to stay present when your brain wants to hit the eject button, why noticing what’s actually happening changes everything, and how to ditch the self-judgment spiral once and for all.Here’s what we’re unpacking together:The magic of “This is what’s happening”—why accepting the moment (instead of fighting it) changes how you show up.Why slowing down is the real parenting superpower.How to hold space for all your feelings (yes, even the messy ones like frustration or self-doubt).The sneaky connection between emotional triggers and your beliefs—and how to gently rewrite the ones that aren’t serving you.My favorite tip for practicing calm before the meltdown happens Parenting isn’t about fixing our kids or controlling every situation. It’s about learning to stay steady—finding that calm center when the world (or your toddler) is spinning around you. And the good news? You don’t have to be perfect to make this shift. You just have to be willing.So grab your headphones and let’s dive in! You’ve got this, friend.Love,AndeeNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast
