Welcome to the “Become a Calm Mama” podcast!!! In this first episode I’m sharing my own story of becoming a Calm Mama.

Let me just start by telling you that I wasn’t always a calm mama. In fact I was the opposite of that. I was a MAD MAMA.

There was a time in my parenting when I yelled with such fervor that spittle shot from my mouth.

Quiet afternoons replaced with anger-filled threats. Boys sent to their rooms with an edge in my voice that pierced their hearts with fear. Icy stares. Cold shoulders. No goodnight kisses.

This was especially true when my kids were toddlers and preschoolers.

One night, while tucking my 4-year-old son in bed, I gently said to him, “I love you so much.” And he replied, “I know you do, but I just don’t think you like me very much.”

My heart broke into a million pieces.

It was at that moment that I knew I needed to find a new way to parent.

These are hard moments to talk about. But they are true and real and normal.

I’m getting real in this episode because I want you to know that I’ve been where you are and that peace in your home is possible.
