S1 Ep11: The Parenting Spiral: Why You Feel Stuck (and How to Get Out)

Send us Fan MailDo you ever end the day feeling defeated, wondering why parenting feels so hard—especially when you're trying to do it differently than you were raised? In this episode of The Nurture Network, Jess Baldenhofer breaks down the real reason so many moms feel stuck in a parenting spiral of guilt, shame, overcorrection, and self-doubt. We’ll explore how our childhood experiences, nervous system responses, and the pressure to “get it right” collide in moments of challenge—and what to do about it. You’ll hear a personal story that brings this to life, and learn how reconnecting with yourself is the key to breaking free and showing up with more compassion, confidence, and clarity.Before you goIf this episode met you somewhere real, follow The Nurture Network so the next one finds you too.Reviews are how other mothers find this work.
