    Eps 117 | Compassionate Parenting: A Better Way Forward
    Feb 10 2026
    Are you caught in the crossfire of the parenting wars? Tired of being told you're either too soft or too strict? Has someone made you feel guilty for apologizing to your child—or for holding a firm boundary? In this episode, Jennifer tackles the false dichotomy that's tearing apart mom communities and church small groups alike: gentle parenting vs. authoritarian parenting. She unpacks the fear that's actually driving both sides of the debate, clears up the dangerous confusion between gentle and permissive parenting, and introduces a framework she calls compassionate parenting—an approach rooted in both faith and science that starts not with the child's behavior, but with the parent's posture. Whether you lean toward gentleness or firmness, this episode will challenge you to look beneath the surface of your parenting reactions and ask: Am I responding from love or from fear? If you've been told that kindness equals weakness or that apologizing to your kids undermines your authority, this episode will set the record straight—and give you permission to parent from compassion without abandoning boundaries. This is the first in a larger series on compassionate parenting, with expert interviews and deeper dives coming soon. 📖 In This Episode [00:00] Welcome to Episode 117: Compassionate Parenting—A Better Way Forward [01:42] The parenting wars: gentle vs. authoritarian and the social media noise [04:01] The false dichotomy—why it's not an either/or [05:36] The real driver behind the debate: fear [08:10] The "too much and not enough" tension at the heart of parenting [09:48] Gentle vs. permissive: clearing up the confusion [11:02] Why apologizing to your child is strength, not weakness [13:00] What brain science tells us about children's behavior and development [15:25] How we project our feelings onto our kids—and how to stop [16:18] Introducing compassionate parenting: what it is and why it's different [19:55] Where faith and science meet: God's design for development [21:01] The new ebook announcement: Compassionate Parenting: Where Faith Meets Science [22:33] Closing encouragement: compassion is not weakness—it's the bravest thing you'll ever do 🎁 Featured Resources NEW: Compassionate Parenting: Where Faith Meets Science (Ebook) — Jennifer's upcoming ebook for the parent who loves their children and loves Jesus and is tired of being told they can't honor both.

    Eps 116 | From Burnt Out to Lit Up: Rediscovering What Makes You Come Alive
    Feb 3 2026
    Are you going through the motions of motherhood but can't remember the last time you felt truly alive? Do you find yourself wondering who you even are anymore beyond "mom"? Have the things that once brought you joy become just another obligation on your endless to-do list? Jennifer unpacks the dangerous pattern of numbing and disconnection that keeps mothers stuck in survival mode—and shows you the path back to rediscovering what makes you come alive. Through personal stories of her own journey from burnt out to lit up, she explores why we lose ourselves in the first place, the difference between healthy rest and harmful numbing, and the courage it takes to reconnect with your dreams when shame has been keeping them at bay. If you've been running on empty, performing instead of living, or wondering if this is just what motherhood is supposed to feel like, this episode will remind you that you were meant for more than just surviving. Your desires, your dreams, and your calling matter—and it's time to reconnect with what makes you come alive. 🎧 Listen Now Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-enough-mom-podcast/id1755861428 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CWYwsLq4bvK8KCvQn1J2n YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jenn_bryant Website: https://jennifer-bryant.com 📖 In This Episode [00:00] Why so many mothers feel burnt out and disconnected from themselves [03:15] The difference between healthy rest and harmful numbing behaviors [06:30] How shame keeps you from pursuing the dreams that would make you come alive [09:45] The turning point: recognizing when survival mode becomes your default [12:20] What "coming alive" actually means (and why it's not selfish) [15:40] Practical steps to reconnect with lost parts of yourself [18:50] Why your desires and dreams are clues to your calling [21:30] The courage it takes to pursue what lights you up when you're exhausted [24:15] Breaking the cycle: from performing to living authentically [27:00] How reconnecting with yourself makes you a better mother Resources Mentioned in this Episode 📰 Give Me a Break: Psychologists explore the type and frequency of breaks we need to refuel our energy and enhance our well-being https://www.apa.org/monitor/2019/01/break#:~:text=The%20researchers%20found%20that%20workers,be%20critical%2C%E2%80%9D%20Hunter%20says. 📰 Burnout: Signs, Causes, and What Actually Helps https://womenspsychotherapycenter.com/mom-burnout-signs-and-what-helps/#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways,happily%20contribute%20to%20unsustainable%20demands.

  • Eps 115 | Breaking Free From Shame: Why Your Courage Matters

    Eps 115 | Breaking Free From Shame: Why Your Courage Matters
    Jan 28 2026
    This episode is for every mama caught in the shame spiral who believes one mistake defines her entire story. Have you been replaying that moment when you lost your temper, forgot something important, or didn't show up the way you wanted to? Are you stuck in the hallway of your mind, convinced that one misstep means you've failed completely? Jennifer shares a powerful moment from her recent speech and debate tournament where she watched a bright, capable student spiral into shame after forgetting part of her speech—and realized how many mothers are stuck in that same hallway. Through the lens of teaching teenagers public speaking, this episode explores the critical difference between shame (I am bad) and guilt (I did something bad), why vulnerability is the true measure of courage, and how empathy—not perfection—cancels out shame. If you've been letting one bad round, one mistake, or one slip-up affect how you see yourself as a mother, this episode will remind you that your worth isn't determined by your performance, and that courage isn't the absence of fear or failure—it's showing up vulnerably anyway. 🎧 Listen Now Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-enough-mom-podcast/id1755861428 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CWYwsLq4bvK8KCvQn1J2n YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jenn_bryant Website: https://jennifer-bryant.com 📖 In This Episode [00:29] The tournament weekend that changed everything—coaching 70 nervous teenagers [05:00] What we're really teaching teenagers: vulnerability, resilience, and failing well [06:11] How many mothers are "that girl in the hallway"—replaying shame stories [07:20] The real definition of courage: showing up vulnerably despite fear and failure [08:45] What shame is really telling you and the voices in your head [10:30] The four core fears shame leverages against mothers [13:15] Why perfectionism feeds the shame cycle instead of breaking it [19:30] The danger of numbing and coping mechanisms that cover shame instead of healing it [23:36] Empathy is what cancels out shame—practicing the "me too" response [25:07] Connecting the three pillars: Courage, confidence, and calling [25:50] Practical action steps: Name your shame story, find your people, take one brave step 🎁 Featured Resources Dream Reconnection Journal - Ready to reconnect with the dreams shame has been keeping you from pursuing?
