Ever catch yourself throwing a grown-up tantrum? đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž Yeah, me too. I’m deep into The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, and Chapter 7 hit HARD. It’s all about how adults lose their cool—just like kids—when we feel out of control, unheard, or frustrated. And as a mama, that truth stung.

In today’s episode, I share a real-life example of how I get easily annoyed when Bruce doesn't listen (ugh!), how I sometimes react in ways I’m not proud of, and what I’m learning about handling those moments differently. Because the way I regulate my emotions teaches my kids how to regulate theirs. And girl, we’re in this together!

So if you’ve ever found yourself slamming cabinets or raising your voice and thinking, “What am I even doing?!”—this one’s for you.
