29. The Mother's Day Secret No One Talks About: Why Celebrations Go Sideways and Your #1 Strategy for Creating the Day You Actually Want

As a mom of boys, you put so much pressure on yourself to be the perfect mother, especially on days meant to celebrate you. When reality doesn't match your expectations, the disappointment can be crushing. You deserve to enjoy these special days without the emotional rollercoaster.

Join me today as I share my not-so-perfect Mother's Day story (involving a black eye and two feuding brothers) and the three powerful mindset shifts that helped me navigate the disappointment when celebrations go sideways.

This episode gives you permission to feel disappointed while providing concrete strategies to move forward. You'll learn how to communicate your expectations clearly, give yourself grace during challenging moments, and remember that difficult phases don't last forever. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that you're doing better than you think!
