384. 7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Mother!

This episode felt like sitting on the porch with us talking about motherhood, emotions, nervous systems, little kids, big feelings, and becoming who God created us to be 🤍

As Emmy prepares to become a mama this summer, we’re sharing some of the biggest lessons motherhood has taught us over the years.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why your child’s behavior is not your report card

Learning to look underneath behavior instead of just reacting to it

Why connection changes children more than control

Emotional regulation for moms and kids

The importance of repair over perfection

Why your children are watching how you live

Letting motherhood transform you

The pressure modern moms feel—and how to release some of it

Why staying alive to your own life matters so much

One of our favorite reminders:

✨ “Your kids are watching what you do way more than what you say.”
