What do fear, parenting, and swimming have in common? Everything—when it comes to building resilience from the inside out.
In this powerful episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, host Tiffany Lorraine Galloway is joined by Cori, founder of Calm Within Adult Swim, to explore how overcoming fear through calm awareness and inner safety can transform your relationship with yourself—and ripple out into every area of your life.
🌊 Using her experience teaching adults how to swim (many of whom have a lifelong fear of water), Cori reveals a framework that applies beautifully to motherhood:
You don’t have to feel fearless to move forward—you just have to feel safe within.
Together, they dive into:
✔️ The connection between fear, mindset, and emotional regulation
✔️ Why “calm” is the foundation of resilient parenting
✔️ How to model inner peace for your children—without perfection
✔️ Tools for navigating the “messy middle” of growth
✔️ Why repetition is the key to rewiring your brain and your relationships
✔️ The role of curiosity, self-compassion, and commitment in mastering any skill—whether it’s swimming or parenting
Whether you’re in the middle of toddler tantrums, teen transitions, or personal healing, this episode is your reminder that growth doesn’t have to be graceful to be good.
✨ Breathe deeply. Believe in yourself. Become the mother—and the woman—you were always meant to be.
