Discipline and Doubts

Moms Actually

06/16/22 • 27 min

In this episode we tackle the ever-so-touchy and highly controversial topic of discipline. Discipline is a topic that many moms don't feel they can be candid about for fear of judgement, but there is NO mom shaming here. We discussed our current discipline methods, how they affect us and our children and how much our parents' discipline methods influenced how we interact with our children. We hope you all listen with an open mind and share your experiences as well.
Notes:

Discuss whether gentle parenting and permissive parenting are the same
The impact vs. intent to the child
The importance of being mindful and self aware before fully engaging in discipline
Reflecting on our upbringing and how it affect the discipline methods for our children
Healing our inner child to become a better parent

Flaws and All Ft. Tamar Braxton

Moms Actually

07/07/22 • 22 min

On our season finale, Flaws and All, we discuss how our confidence and relationships were affected by our postpartum bodies with Singer and Television personality, Tamar Braxton of the legendary Braxton Family!
Women are always being hit by something as it relates to our bodies, whether it is the Freshman 15, relationship weight or our bodies stretching and swagging after pregnancy and birth. In this world, it is nearly impossible to not be highly aware of the changes in our bodies and how they may not match up to what we see on social media or television. While we completely support plastic surgery, mommy makeovers, etc. we also realize that the changes we want to see have to start in our minds and hearts or we will never be satisfied. The self-love journey is not always an easy one and we are all still walking through it! Have you had a hard time after birth falling in love (or like) with your body?
Notes:

Self love and affirmations
Comparing ourselves to other women and society standards
Plastic Surgery/Mommy Makeovers
Motherhood and learning to be comfortable
Community support and friendships
Single motherhood and dating
Understanding who you are
