56. How to Ask for What You Need as a Mom (Without Feeling Guilty)

Have you ever had a less-than-wonderful Mother’s Day?Maybe you’re already looking ahead to this year with a bit of dread, worried you’ll once again be:Taking care of everyone else (your MIL, helping your kids make cards, managing the day),Feeling overlooked, orWalking away under-appreciated instead of truly celebrated.❤️ This week's episode of Sustainable Parenting with Flora McCormick, I’m sharing a 3-part recipe to reinvent Mother’s Day in a way that feels good for you. ❤️My first Mother’s Day was nothing like I imagined—picture a hungover husband, me changing every diaper, and being told the shoes I bought myself were my “gift.” I felt invisible. But over the years, through positive parenting strategies and calm parenting tips, I’ve learned how to shape celebrations that actually honor our journey as moms.By the time you finish listening, you’ll know:The common traps we fall into—like expecting partners to be mind-readers or holding back out of guilt.How to let go of “shoulds” and practice kind and firm parenting with yourself.How to speak clearly about what you want—so you can enjoy a Mother’s Day that leaves you cherished and rejuvenated.Join me, knee-to-knee, mom-to-mom, as we talk about positive discipline and creating space to celebrate the calm, confident parenting path you’re already walking.And if you are in a space where you REALLY DESIRE SPACE FOR REJUVENATION, join me on the DAY OPTION, or OVERNIGHT option of the "Rooted and Reaching - Sustainable Parenting Glamping Women's Retreat."And lastly, I wanna offer you a discount to the Sustainable Parenting Transformation 🌟Accelerator Package🌟  (exclusive 10% DISCOUNT). This Parent Coaching Wrap-around support for 5 sessions (over 2 months of time) is regularly $997  - ON SALE UNTIL MOTHER's DAY ($878)!✨Want more?  ✨JOIN me in the SUMMER of support:  💪❤️💪 https://courses.sustainableparenting.com/courses/summer-of-support✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.
