Listen "Episode 6: Why You Keep Snapping and How To Show Up Differently"
Episode Synopsis
Snapping at your kids over little things doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom, but it sure feels like it in the moment Instead of living with mom guilt let's be brave and explore what it actually means- there's something deeper going on. In this episode, we’ll unpack the hidden triggers, why your brain reacts this way, and how to respond with grace vs guilt.
Truth time: We have all had 'bad mommy' moments where something as little as those sock balls on the floor or spilled juice just send us over the edge. Directly following your outrage is the shame spiral shouting: “Look at you, you're out of control. You're ruining them. You'll never get this right.”
But here’s what I've learned and want you to know too: The snap isn’t evidence that something's wrong with you. It’s a signal; a clue. Your body is telling you something on a heart level needs your attention.
In this episode, I dig into:
Practical things that lead to getting triggered like lack of sleep, hunger, and social isolation.
Deeper emotional and spiritual roots: rejection wounds, disconnection from God, shame & unworthiness.
The brain science behind why your nervous system jumps into fight, flight, or freeze mode (even when the “danger” isn't actually dangerous).
Three powerful steps to break the cycle and respond differently: recognize the warning signs in your body, pause, reset negative thoughts with truth, and reframe the story.
I’ll also share how I’ve learned to practice this in my own “triggered times,” like afternoon carpool, and give myself what I need before the blow up—whether it’s a nap, a snack, or good cry out to God.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, small steps, and giving yourself grace along the way. You can learn to snap less, love deeper, and lead your home with peaceful strength.
