Juggling the demands of modern motherhood often feels like navigating a complex maze of challenges. From balancing career aspirations to managing household responsibilities, mothers everywhere find themselves grappling with what can only be described as "Modern Mom Problems." But no worries, because, within all that chaos, there emerges a light of understanding and support: Tara Clark, the dynamic host of the "Modern Mom Probs" podcast.
Tara is an author, speaker, content creator, and the founder of Modern Mom Prob. Her journey into the world of online parenting communities began when she became a mother and noticed a glaring gap in the digital space – a lack of authentic connections among moms. In 2017, she took matters into her own hands and launched her Instagram account, creating a space where moms could genuinely relate to one another.
Fast forward to the present, and Tara has successfully built a cherished community, earning her reputation as a humorous and trusted voice in the realm of parenting.
In today’s episode, we talk about our shared belief in supporting mothers and Tara gives us a wealth of wisdom, shared experiences, and genuine solutions.
With Tara as your guide, you're not alone in your motherhood journey.

Have you ever found yourself drowning in a sea of responsibilities and obligations? With that relentless feeling of overwhelm? You know, those moments when it seems like life is spinning out of control, and you're left gasping for a breath of fresh air? Well, brace yourself for a revelation that might catch you off guard! That overwhelming sense of chaos might very well be a result of your inability to set boundaries.
Now, I know what you're thinking – "Boundaries? Really?" It might come as a surprise to many, but the lack of clear boundaries can often be the hidden culprit behind our feelings of exhaustion and unease. But fret not, because today on Beyond Empty Nest, we have an extraordinary guest who's here to shed light on this intriguing connection.
Ann Weiser Cornell, author and CEO of Focusing Resources, is no stranger to the world of inner exploration and self-discovery. With over 35 years of experience in teaching and sharing her wisdom worldwide, Ann is a recognized authority in the field of Focusing – a transformative practice for emotional self-healing and understanding. She's also the co-developer of Inner Relationship Focusing and Untangling, and the author of several influential books, including "The Power of Focusing" and "The Radical Acceptance of Everything."
In today’s conversation, we'll explore the pivotal role that boundaries play in our lives. So, if you're ready to gain a new perspective on your overwhelming feelings and move toward greater self-awareness, tune into Ann Weiser Cornell’s advice.
❤️ Your Dare this week is for the next 24 hours, every time you notice a stressful emotion, use this language: “I am sensing that something in me feels [name the emotion]”. You can follow that up with: “And I'm saying hello to that.” For example, “I'm sensing something in me. I’m feeling really anxious right now, and I'm saying hello to that.” And then notice what happens after. Notice if that makes a difference in your feelings of being overwhelmed.

Curfew or No Curfew? (Re-Release)

How do you maintain a balance between granting your adult child independence, ensuring their safety, and your peace of mind?
In today’s re-release episode, we have a roundtable with guests who are members of the Moms Who Double Dare community. We chat about our experiences with setting reasonable boundaries with our adult children while respecting their newfound independence, especially when it comes to late-night comings and goings.
This conversation amongst friends shows the essence of parenting adult children—finding the middle ground where mutual respect and understanding flourish. We had a conversation that was open, respectful, and considerate of everyone's needs.
We recognized as parents the importance of not imposing rules randomly but instead engaging in a dialogue that accepts our children’s independence while addressing their concerns. It's a testament to the delicate art of parenting adult children—balancing authority with understanding, rules with freedom, and love with practicality.
As parents, it's crucial to understand that setting boundaries doesn't diminish the love we have for our children; it's an expression of that love. It's about teaching them responsibility, respect for others, and self-discipline—values that are integral to adulthood.
❤️ DARE to enjoy having them home again!
