Ep 3 - Snapping, Guilt & the Parenting Rollercoaster: What’s Really Going On

You promise yourself you’ll stay calm. You’ll be patient. You won’t yell this time. But then something sets you off. The chaos, the resistance, the backtalk. And before you know it, you’ve snapped again. The guilt creeps in. The shame follows. And you’re left wondering why it feels impossible to break the cycle. In this episode, we take a deeper look at what’s really going on beneath those intense emotional reactions. You’ll learn how your thought patterns and emotional habits have been wired over time, and why your reactions are not just about willpower. We explore how stress builds through specific thought lenses, how your body and brain are reinforcing those reactions, and what it actually takes to shift them. This is about understanding, not judging. It’s about compassion over criticism. And it’s about giving yourself the tools to step off the emotional rollercoaster and respond with more calm, clarity and control, even in the chaos. Listen now to begin changing the way you experience parenting from the inside out.
