  • Stuck in Helper Mode
    Jul 4 2025

    Send us a text

    As a mom of an only child, I’ve often found myself doing things for my 8-year-old daughter that she’s fully capable of doing on her own, like making lunch, getting dressed, or putting away her clothes. In this episode of The Family of One Child, I reflect on what it looks like now that I’m aware of my “helper mode” tendencies, and how I’m learning to gently step back so she can step up.

    I also share how reading our period book together sparked even more meaningful conversations, filled with curiosity, honesty, and connection.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in helper mode or wondered how to open sensitive conversations with your child, this episode is for you.

    Jun 19 2025

    Send us a text

    Dive into episode 16 of The Family of One Podcast! I share how I reframed the "terrible twos" as the "terrific twos," discovering patience within myself during my child's toddler tantrums. With my sister’s support and encouragement, I found a better way to discipline, learned to say no, and realized the value of key people, like close family members, I could visit for help. I also explore how I learned to have heart conversations with myself during these moments. Tune in for love, laughter, and mom wisdom!
