When Krista St-Germain’s husband was killed on the side of the road, her life shattered in an instant. Left to navigate unimaginable grief, she quickly realized something shocking—most of what we believe about grief is completely wrong. Now, as a Certified Life Coach, Post-Traumatic Growth and grief expert, widow, mom, and podcaster, Krista has made it her mission to help others process loss in a way that actually helps, rather than harms. In this episode, Krista shares three powerful ways to support a grieving friend or loved one—including why simply witnessing their grief is far more meaningful than trying to "fix" it. She also debunks one of the biggest myths about grief: the five stages of grief were never actually about losing a loved one! Originally developed for terminally ill patients coming to terms with their own mortality, this outdated framework often does more harm than good. If you’ve ever struggled with what to say—or not say—to someone going through loss, this episode is for you. It’s raw, eye-opening, and will change the way you show up for the people you love.

Does life sometimes feel like you’re driving a beat-up Beetle while everyone else is cruising in Teslas? You’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Patricia Sung, ADHD coach, mom of two, and master of turning chaos into calm. Patricia shares her personal journey—from excelling in school to facing freshman-year overwhelm when her ADHD diagnosis finally put the puzzle pieces together. We dig into the real struggles moms with ADHD face—decision fatigue, time blindness, and the never-ending mystery of what’s for dinner (because meal planning is basically the ninth circle of hell). But Patricia doesn’t just commiserate—she delivers solutions. Think flexible structures that actually work, prioritizing what matters most, and embracing your unique way of thriving. And yes, we also share some laughs about clumsiness (looking at you, steak-on-the-floor moment). Whether you’re navigating ADHD or just trying to stay afloat in mom life, this episode is packed with relatable moments, actionable tips, and a ton of heart. Plus, Patricia dishes on her upcoming book and why you absolutely need to catch her at this year’s Happy Mom Summit.

Are you frustrated that reward charts aren’t delivering the results you hoped for? You’re not alone! In this episode we’re sharing a special episode from our friends over at the What Fresh Hell Podcast where JoAnn shares why reward charts often backfire and how a fresh approach to parenting can transform your family dynamics. As a former board-certified middle school teacher and parenting educator, JoAnn has seen firsthand how traditional methods can sometimes miss the mark. The truth is, kids do well when they can, not just when there’s a sticker or prize involved. Reward charts can create external motivation, but to really help kids thrive, we need to dig deeper and build lasting habits from within. If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered if there’s a better way to handle tricky situations, this episode is for you. Let’s move beyond the sticker chart and parent in a way that’s effective, compassionate, and guilt-free!

Why in the world do we have such low standards sometimes? Many of us wouldn’t give someone the time of day if they were to say to us “I like to keep the bar low, so that way when I do anything- you get impressed”. Um- no thank you! Next, please! And yet, we hear moms say that they feel spoiled when their partner gives their kids a bath (for the first time ever...and their youngest is 3!), or they were able to sleep in one day out of the year. Seriously? When did that count as being “spoiled”? In this episode, we push against that thought process that as moms, we should be happy settling for cold chicken nuggets as a meal and someone offering (but not actually doing) the dishes one day a year. We dig deep into expectations, why we sometimes settle for less than we know we deserve, and 4 things we can do about that today!

Why do so many of us moms think we deserve a gold star if we manage to do everything on our own, without a single helping hand? Seriously, when did “exhausted and lonely” become the standard for success in motherhood? Spoiler: it’s not. Because let’s be real—we all need a community to stay sane, avoid burnout, and actually enjoy this wild ride called parenting. In this episode, we’re talking with Florence Ann Romano, personal growth strategist and author of Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life about why it’s time to ditch the guilt of asking for help and embrace the magic of real, meaningful connections. From the six types of people you absolutely need in your circle to why finding your tribe is more important than ever, we’re covering it all. Turns out, the secret to surviving motherhood isn’t doing it alone—it’s knowing who to call when the toddler tantrums hit hard. So, let’s stop pretending we can do it all solo and start building the kind of community that lifts us up. After all, a happy mom is one who knows when to ask for help, lean on her people, and laugh through the chaos. 🌟👯‍♀️✨ Resources We Shared: Get connected to No Guilt Mom and get our Stop Doing Checklist absolutely FREE, so you can start taking tasks off your plate today!

Tired of trying to be the holiday superhero while clinging to your last shred of sanity? If you’re the one orchestrating the holiday magic (and probably losing a little hair over it), this one's for you. We’re diving into that festive frenzy where moms end up juggling gift lists, holiday cards, and 27 different kinds of cookies while wondering if there’s enough wine in the world to survive it. Today, we’re serving up some much-needed real talk about setting boundaries and ditching those holiday perfection traps. Forget the Instagram-worthy gingerbread house and focus on what actually brings joy. Spoiler: It’s not the perfectly frosted sugar cookies but maybe letting someone else handle dinner (yes, store-bought counts). And hey, if the thought of one more Christmas card makes you twitch, skip it. This season, we’re all about delegating, saying no, and choosing self-care over burnout. Because let's be honest—your happiness is worth way more than a picture-perfect holiday mantel. Resources We Shared: Have a million holiday tasks taking up brain space?

Ever found yourself color-coding your family’s Google calendar while stress-eating a half-eaten granola bar you found in the bottom of your purse for lunch? (No judgment, we’ve all been there.) In this episode, we’re tackling that sneaky little habit we call “toxic productivity.” You know, the one that whispers, "You’re not doing enough," even when you’re crushing it like a multitasking superhero. Our guest Israa Nasir is a New York City-based psychotherapist, founder of WellGuide—a digital community for mental health awareness, and author of the new book: TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More. We’re going to break down why being busy doesn’t always mean being productive and how trying to do it all might actually be burning us out faster than our kids can say, "What’s for dinner?"

If you’ve ever tried to follow time management advice only to end up stress-eating Oreos in the closet while your to-do list multiplies like laundry piles, this episode is for you. Kendra Adachi joins us to break down why productivity tips were clearly designed for people who don’t have kids, jobs, or the constant mental ping-pong of parenthood. Spoiler alert: traditional advice wasn’t made for women juggling 57 things at once. Enter our guest Kendra Adachi, a 2x New York Times bestselling author and host of The Lazy Genius Podcast. She helps people be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. And her newest book, The Plan just released! It’s such a game-changer for anyone tired of hearing “just wake up at 5 a.m. to get more done” (because, no). This isn’t about adding more to your already overflowing plate. It’s about figuring out what truly matters and, yes, sometimes prioritizing a nap over cleaning the baseboards. Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

As women, sometimes we feel like we can’t say “no” to others in fear of being resented. But that’s not true! It's hard to say no, it's hard to set those healthy boundaries, but they're definitely necessary for our own well-being. In this podcast episode, we push back against that uncomfortable feeling when we have to say “no” to a request (typically from our family or friends) and give you a super easy framework to follow (it’s only 3 steps) to be confident in your boundaries and to let you know that you’re allowed to say “No”, and NOT feel guilty about it!

In this episode, we dive into the viral “mom marathon cup” moment—yep, the one where the mom, mid-race, is asked to stop and pick up a cup for her kids, while Dad just watches. Brie’s fuming at the dad (like, seriously?), while JoAnn sees it as a teachable moment for everyone involved. We break down the assumptions we make about moms being the default “fixers” and why that needs to change. But it’s not all about the cup! We also share how to teach kids social skills and guide them to make better choices—without you playing the superhero 24/7. Moms, it’s time to ditch the martyr cape and prioritize your well-being while shaping a more balanced family dynamic. Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

Strap in for a delightful rollercoaster of emotions in today’s episode as we dive deep into the bustling world of motherhood, relationships, and the secret spices (literally) that make or break our daily interactions. We’re joined today by Morgan Cutlip, Ph.D., who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the new book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do. Morgan shares the not-so-sparkly side of motherhood and how it's more teamwork than a solo mission. Husbands, take note: "Get in there" isn't just a suggestion—it's a necessity, especially when toddlers turn life into a full-contact sport! Switching gears, Morgan breaks down her dad’s legacy and her own work—the Relationship Attachment Model. Imagine your relationship as a stereo equalizer with sliders for 'know', 'trust', 'rely', 'commit', and 'touch'. Morgan encourages all moms (and dads) to know themselves and their needs. She offers up nuggets of wisdom on managing personal needs without turning into a walking mom-zombie of resentment. It's about finding that sweet spot where self-care meets care for others, without losing yourself to the daily grind. This episode isn’t just a podcast; it’s a survival guide, a therapy session, and a coffee chat with a good friend all rolled into one. Tune in, laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as we tackle the wild world of motherhood and relationships with humor, empathy, and expert insight.
