    Oct 15 2025
    Have you ever stopped to say I’m sorry — not to someone else, but to yourself?💬 In this deeply honest and healing episode, Rebecca opens up about the power of self-forgiveness. Inspired by Yom Kippur, she reads her heartfelt apology letter to herself — acknowledging where she’s been too hard, too busy, and too critical. With Seth’s warmth and humor beside her, they explore how changing your inner dialogue can reshape every relationship. It’s a raw and relatable reminder to give yourself the same compassion you give everyone else.✨ Key Takeaways:→ Writing a letter to yourself can release guilt and open space for healing→ Self-talk shapes how we treat others — grace starts within→ Recognizing your patterns helps rewire reactive habits into mindful responses→ Women are often too critical of themselves; simple awareness can shift everything→ Saying thank you and accepting kindness is a form of self-love🪞 Quote:“The first person I realized I needed to apologize to was myself.” — Rebecca Greene❤️ Call to Action:Join the Whinypaluza Mom community on Facebook for support, laughter, and weekly challenges.Subscribe to the Whinypaluza newsletter for Rebecca’s parenting, marriage, and self-care insights — and catch a new Whinypaluza Friday Expert Podcast each week. 👉 Whinypaluza.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Episode 487: A Mother's Story of Addiction, Relapses and Recovery

    Episode 487: A Mother's Story of Addiction, Relapses and Recovery
    Oct 10 2025
    Can you be the "perfect mom" while secretly drinking around the clock? In this raw and honest conversation, Rebecca Greene sits down with Emily Redondo, author of Wife Mother Drunk: An Intergenerational Memoir of Loss and Love. From the outside, Emily had it all—four kids, a loving husband, and the picture-perfect family life. But behind closed doors, she was hiding bottles, cycling through seven rehab stays, and battling the shame that comes with chronic relapse. Emily opens up about what it's really like to struggle with alcohol addiction as a mother, why relapse doesn't mean failure, and how generational trauma shaped her relationship with drinking. This isn't a neat redemption story—it's the messy, complicated truth about recovery while raising kids, the unrealistic expectations we place on mothers, and why simply "quitting" isn't always the answer. In this episode, you'll discover: ➤ Why Emily's "perfect mom" appearance masked years of hidden drinking and multiple rehab stays ➤ The reality of chronic relapse and why it doesn't look like the stereotypical image of an "alcoholic mom" ➤ How generational patterns and her own mother's alcoholism influenced Emily's journey ➤ The changes Emily had to make at home beyond just getting sober—including boundaries, dividing household labor, and honest conversations with her kids ➤ Why self-care for mothers goes far beyond bubble baths and manicures Two powerful quotes from Emily "I never, ever quit trying. There was not like this point where it was like, I'm just gonna quit trying to quit. It was every day, every single day." "The more I wallow in what's happened and try to grapple with how terrible I was as a mom, then the more I'm robbing myself of right now. I've used up all the time to do that, and now I'm gonna get over it."

    Episode 486: Guiding and Mentoring our Children
    Oct 8 2025
    As our children get older, the way we parent shifts. This week, Rebecca shares her reflections from Yom Kippur and her daughter Lillie’s 13th birthday — two moments that reminded her of the beauty of growth, forgiveness, and fresh starts. Instead of “managing” every detail of our children’s lives, Rebecca and Seth talk about what it looks like to guide and mentor them — giving them space to try, sometimes stumble, and ultimately shine. From letting kids handle their own routines, to adjusting family time as older children come home from college, this heartfelt conversation is about learning to release control while still staying deeply connected.What You’ll Hear in This Episode→ How Yom Kippur inspired Rebecca to pause, reflect, and think about “doing better” as a parent → Celebrating Lillie’s milestone birthday and the independence that comes with the teenage years → The difference between micromanaging and mentoring — and why stepping back is sometimes the most loving choice → How to embrace changing family rhythms as kids leave home, balancing quality and quantity of time → A special invitation to join the Whinypaluza Mom October Challenge for encouragement, fun, and communityThis episode is a gentle reminder that parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up with love, letting go little by little, and cheering our kids on as they grow into themselves.Join the Conversation:Come be part of the Whinypaluza Mom community on Facebook, sign up for the newsletter, and join the October Challenge — because motherhood is always easier when we walk it together.
