81 | Hormones and Milestones - Hidden Mom Guilt Trigger

Have you caught yourself overreacting to your children and spouse, but you don't know why? Are you tired of trying to stop your reactions when you can't even figure out what caused it? Do you just want to have peace in the home and in you? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how to identify what’s really triggering your own emotional outbursts — spiritually, mentally, or physically — so you can start deescalating your own emotions. Do a quick self‑check: Are you running on empty spiritually, mentally, or physically? Reconnect with God and notice how time with Him shifts your capacity. Consider whether your child’s latest developmental leap is impacting behavior – yours or theirs. Pay attention to possible hormone changes influencing your emotions. Look for hidden triggers that may be shaping your reactions. Bring your husband or a trusted friend into the conversation. Pray over your kids and your parenting, then wait for God’s direction. Use journaling to uncover the deeper roots of emotional triggers.
