Episode Synopsis

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly fighting for your kids at school, on the field, or in the classroom...you’re not imagining it.
This year alone, I’ve had to step in when:


A teacher marked an assignment as missing even though it was fully completed.


A soccer coach skipped the very skills and agility training we signed up for.


My youngest was stuck sitting next to disruptive kids in class with no control.


And for the first time ever, my kids told me they’d rather be homeschooled.
In this episode of Struggle & Strength, I’m opening up about the exhausting reality of why moms always have to advocate and the powerful analogy that reframes it all:
💡 Advocating for your kids is like being their attorney in the courtroom of life. You’re not fighting for special treatment. You’re making sure their voice is heard, the facts are clear, and they get a fair shot.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why is this always on me?” this episode will remind you that while advocacy is hard, it’s also one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids.
