Episode Synopsis

Hi love. If you've ever felt crushed under the weight of unsolicited parenting advice, this episode is for you. From your mother-in-law’s “helpful” suggestions, to strangers at the grocery store, to the endless scroll of Instagram “expert” posts, being a new mom can feel like you’re drowning in other people’s opinions.
In today’s conversation, we’ll unpack why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a parenting expert when you have a baby, how all this conflicting input can shake your confidence, and most importantly, how to set loving boundaries that protect your peace while keeping your relationships intact.
Because here’s the truth: you are the expert on your baby. And it’s time to tune back into the wisdom you already carry. 💛
In this episode, we’ll explore:

The emotional impact of unsolicited advice on new moms

Why family opinions, social media, and cultural pressure can leave you feeling overwhelmed

How to stop second-guessing yourself as a mom and start trusting your instincts again

Practical scripts for setting boundaries with love (without becoming “the difficult daughter-in-law”)

Simple practices to reconnect with your own inner voice and mama wisdom

Tips for navigating parenting differences with your partner and building a strong “couple bubble”

Encouragement for finding confidence in motherhood and letting go of guilt

When everyone else’s voice is louder than your own, it’s easy to lose confidence and feel like you’re failing. But mama, you are not failing. You are learning, loving, and leading your baby every single day. The goal of this episode is to help you quiet the noise, set clear and kind boundaries, and return to the steady, intuitive part of you that already knows what your child needs.
