384. 7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Mother! 

This episode felt like sitting on the porch with us talking about motherhood, emotions, nervous systems, little kids, big feelings, and becoming who God created us to be 🤍

As Emmy prepares to become a mama this summer, we’re sharing some of the biggest lessons motherhood has taught us over the years.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why your child’s behavior is not your report card

• Learning to look underneath behavior instead of just reacting to it

• Why connection changes children more than control

• Emotional regulation for moms and kids

• The importance of repair over perfection

• Why your children are watching how you live

• Letting motherhood transform you

• The pressure modern moms feel—and how to release some of it

• Why staying alive to your own life matters so much

One of our favorite reminders:

✨ “Your kids are watching what you do way more than what you say.”
