Kids & Family
Not every day is “hard” — but some days are full of really hard moments. In this raw and vulnerable episode, Jessica shares a day that broke her mama heart: two accidents with her toddler, both unintentional and both followed by waves of guilt and self-criticism.
Through the tears, she discovered the power of having support — with Kelton holding space and guiding her and Corbin back to calm through simple, steady breathing. Together, they navigated the spiral of guilt, the reality of accidents, and the reminder that all we can do is keep showing up with love.
You’ll hear:
What happened during two back-to-back “hard mama moments”
How easy it is to slip into self-blame — and how to break that spiral
Why support and holding space matters so much in parenting
A real-life glimpse of the 90-second rule in action with a toddler
This episode is for every mama who’s ever felt the sting of guilt when something goes wrong — and the reminder that you’re not alone.
