“Why am I the only one who knows when the kids need a bath… or that bedtime isn’t optional?” If that sounds like your internal monologue on repeat, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. When you’re constantly stuck in the same fight about chores, parenting, or just feeling alone in the relationship, it’s more than frustrating—it’s exhausting. This week, we’re joined by licensed therapist and marriage alignment expert April Eldemire, LMFT, who shares why the issue isn’t love, but a lack of clarity. She walks us through a simple 4-part ritual that helps couples reconnect, reduce resentment, and get back on the same team. So if you’re tired of doing it all (and being the one who always has to bring it up), this episode gives you the words, the structure, and the encouragement to shift things—for good.

Ever watch your kid refuse to eat leftovers, take 20 minutes to put on socks, or panic over a crumb on their plate and think, “Okay… is this just a phase, or should I be worried?” If you've ever wondered whether your child’s behavior is anxiety, perfectionism, or something deeper—this episode is your must-listen. Dr. Tamar Chansky, author of Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, joins us to break down the signs of OCD in kids—especially the ones most parents miss. She explains how OCD has nothing to do with being neat or liking things “just so.” Instead, it’s about intrusive thoughts and mental rituals that can quietly disrupt a child’s life. You'll learn what to watch for, how to talk to your child without shame, and the exact strategies that help kids separate themselves from the thoughts that feel so overpowering. If you're parenting a child who seems stuck, overwhelmed, or distressed by things that don’t make sense on the surface—this episode could change everything.

Ever wonder if your kid's brain is turning to mush because they’ve been scrolling TikTok for two hours straight... again? You’re not alone—and before the guilt spiral kicks in, take a deep breath. In this episode, psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Lisa Damour helps us cut through the noise and panic around screen time, ADHD, and anxiety. She shares why the real culprit might not be the screen itself, but what it’s replacing—like sleep and in-person connection. You’ll learn what’s actually worth worrying about (spoiler: it’s not every app), how to set realistic screen rules without starting World War III, and the one simple test to know if your kid’s screen use is truly a problem.

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right and still somehow failing? You packed the lunch, signed the forms, remembered spirit day, and even made dinner (sort of)… yet you're still lying in bed wondering if you’re a terrible mom because you didn’t go to your kid’s dog’s graduation ceremony at PetSmart. Yeah. Same. In this episode, we’re blowing up the "perfect mom" myth—because it’s not just outdated, it’s straight-up toxic. You’ll hear real, hilarious, and painfully relatable stories of moms stuck in the guilt loop, and learn how resentment might actually be your brain's way of whisper-yelling, “Stop doing that!” If you’re tired of chasing gold stars for tasks no one notices, fantasizing about running away to a hotel just to sleep uninterrupted, or if the phrase “school coordination” makes you twitchy, hit play. There is another way—and spoiler alert: it involves more rest, more joy, and a lot fewer emergency contact forms. Resources We Shared: Learn all about Balance VIP HERE!

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there—only to remember it was to solve someone else’s crisis, not your own? Yeah, same. That’s the mental load in action, and moms carry a lot more of it than we realize. It’s not just grocery lists or appointments. It’s being the emotional safety net, the vibe-checker of the household, the one constantly predicting meltdowns before they happen. This kind of “invisible labor” adds up fast and drains what experts call your “body budget,” meaning your sensory and emotional bandwidth gets maxed out. In less than ten minutes, you'll learn about six sneaky mental tasks that could be pushing you closer to burnout without even knowing it. You’ll also get insight from the book Brain-Body Parenting by Mona Delahooke, which helps decode why even small things can suddenly feel too much. The good news? You’ll walk away with tools to spot these hidden stressors, challenge outdated assumptions, and reclaim some balance before you hit that mental red zone.

Do you ever open your fridge, take one whiff, and slam it shut like you’re dodging a crime scene? Or maybe your “junk drawer” is now a junk cabinet... plus the hall closet? If you feel like you're constantly losing track of your keys, your time, or your sanity—hi, welcome, you're among friends. In this episode, we sit down with Robyn Buchanan, ADHD mom of three, former ER nurse, and owner of Minimalist Home & Business, who knows firsthand that organization systems and calm don’t come naturally when your brain is a pinball machine. She shares her signature “MIGHTY” method to help moms triage the chaos, simplify their stuff, and actually create systems that work—even if everyone in the house has ADHD (including you). Spoiler: it’s not about perfection. It’s about one tiny, bite-sized change at a time. You know, like cutting your kid’s bagel in half so you can actually leave the house before 9. If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at all the things, this one’s for you. Let’s get your act together... ADHD-style. Resources We Shared: Podcast Week here at No Guilt Mom!!!

Ever come back from a “vacation” more exhausted than when you left — and with an extra suitcase full of resentment? Yeah, same. In this episode, JoAnn and Brie spill the sunscreen-slicked tea on why family vacations often feel like just another unpaid gig for moms. From packing every single toothbrush (only to have your teen forget theirs anyway), to mediating mid-flight meltdowns, they’re calling out the myth of the relaxing mom-cation and replacing it with real, doable strategies. JoAnn shares her minimalist, “they’ll survive” approach, while Brie admits to scheduling activities with military precision and still being the family glue. Whether your crew is full of moody teens or snack-demanding toddlers, they’ll help you reclaim a slice of peace — even if it’s just a solo iced coffee with your name on it. So if your idea of paradise includes a nap without being touched or questioned, hit play. You’ll laugh, nod in solidarity, and finally learn how to make your next trip feel a little less like work.

You get Jaimie Kelton—host of the LGBTQ family podcast The Queer Family Podcast and all-around awesome human. In this episode, we dive into allyship that actually shows up, why inclusivity isn’t optional (especially in parenting), and how representation helps us all raise better humans. Oh—and did we mention the cupcakes at school board protests? Yeah, that happened. Also, Jaimie literally brought her sperm donor out of retirement. No big deal. If you've ever wondered how to be a better ally—or just want to hear real talk with a lot of heart and a few giggles—this one’s for you. 💖🏳️‍🌈 Resources We Shared: Turn "I'm bored" into "Look what I built!" with our digital kids course, Not So Bummer Summer!
