Ever feel like your brain replays every rough parenting moment right as your head hits the pillow? We go straight at mom guilt—naming it, sorting it, and giving it boundaries—so it stops steering the day. We unpack the three big flavors we see most: real guilt when actions don’t match values, fake guilt built on comparison and expectations, and absorbed guilt we carry from other people’s feelings. That framework alone changed how we respond: repair after real guilt, reset after fake guilt, and release after absorbed guilt.

We get personal. One of us hated motherhood for years and discovered why through EMDR therapy: childhood chaos made normal kid chaos feel dangerous. EMDR, grounding, and breathwork peeled those associations apart and made room for choice. The other side of the mic lives the nightly replay and the zero-to-sixty snap, then the shame that follows. We talk about repair scripts, calming the body first, and the small rituals that keep us from spiraling—box breathing, “and” statements, and circling back with an honest apology. You’ll also hear practical wins for kids: OT for regulation, food therapy that actually expanded picky eating, and better communication with teachers after tough mornings.

Holidays and high-stakes days add pressure, so we share how we lowered the bar, changed travel plans, and designed days with more outlets and fewer flashpoints. The theme that keeps us steady is community. When we say out loud, I love my kids and I need a break, it gives everyone permission to be honest and get support. If you’re juggling shame, triggers, and endless to-dos, you’ll leave with tools you can try today, a mindset that makes space for two truths, and a reminder that repair matters more than perfection.

If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs relief, and leave a review with your best reframe or de-escalation tip—what’s one habit that steadies your day?

Some mornings feel like a marathon before 9 a.m. and for parents raising neurodivergent kids, those miles can be lined with judgment, confusion, and a lot of “he’ll grow out of it.” We open the door on what parenting looks like when ADHD, sensory processing differences, and learning challenges reshape the plan. From the first red flags after 18 months to full neuropsychology evaluations, we walk through the real process of advocating when the playbook is missing and the waitlists are long.

We swap “just try harder” for tools that work: early intervention at home, the role of OT and speech therapy, sensory diets, heavy work, and why a weighted vest or movement break can change a day. We talk about ARFID and why eating struggles aren’t stubbornness, how anxiety can wear surprising masks, and what happens when you educate your village so the burden doesn’t live on one parent’s shoulders. There’s honesty about anger, guilt and the moments you whisper “I hate this,” followed by repair, curiosity, and the reminder that labels are search terms keys to resources, not limits on potential.

You’ll hear how empathy outperforms advice, how a simple question, “Do you want me to listen or help?”, builds trust, and why self care is not a luxury but the scaffolding that holds us together. If you’ve ever felt alone in the school parking lot, or stared at a wall of conflicting opinions, this conversation offers clarity, companionship, and practical next steps.

If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs a lift, subscribe for more honest conversations about neurodiversity and motherhood, and leave a review so other parents can find this support. Your story helps someone else take the next step.

Welcome to Mom Com ! A podcast created for moms who are navigating the beautiful, messy, overwhelming reality of motherhood and want a place to feel seen, supported, and understood.

In this first episode, we’re introducing ourselves, sharing our stories, and opening up about why Mom Com needed to exist. From the loneliness that can quietly creep in, to the pressure to “do it all,” we talk about the moments that made us realize motherhood isn’t broken the way we talk about it is.

Mom Com was born out of honest conversations between friends who realized so many moms are carrying the same feelings silently. This podcast is here to normalize the hard parts, celebrate the wins, and remind you that you are not failing. It's Not You. It's Motherhood.

If you’ve ever wondered why motherhood feels harder than you expected, or wished someone would say, “me too,” this is the place for you.
