The "good mom" label is a trap — one that ties our worth to our children's behavior and leaves both mother and child crushed under the weight of impossible expectations. In this powerful conversation, certified transformational life coach, hypnotherapy practitioner, and former early childhood educator Diane Sorensen shares how her daughter's mental health crisis became the wake-up call that shattered her perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout. With over 30 years of experience supporting children and families, and as the creator of the Beautiful Behavior podcast and coaching programs, Diane knows the cost of living for approval — and the freedom that comes from shifting from control to connection. We dig into the generational and cultural patterns that keep moms stuck, the difference between approval and love, and why curiosity is the key to raising kids who like themselves. If you've ever felt the crushing pressure to prove your worth as a mother, this episode might just be the permission slip you need to drop it for good. If you're ready to take this shift even deeper, join me inside LEGEND — my 16-week group program where high-achieving women break free from perfectionism, reclaim their energy, and create extraordinary lives that are still allowed to be beautifully messy. We start August 27, and spots are still open.
