Description

If you're riddled with mom guilt, your temper scares you, you're terrified you're screwing up your kids and are afraid to admit any of those things out loud....this podcast is for you. Hosted by Danielle Bettmann, parent coach with Wholeheartedly, each episode is a storytelling interview about one mom's raw and honest experience of growth that leads to new perspectives and practical strategies. Each week we will normalize the struggle, share vulnerably about our insecurities, and rally around small wins and truths. We hope to convince you you're not alone and YOU are the mom your kids need. Interviews with experts that have brilliant insight to share will be sprinkled among interviews with moms just like you. We hope you see yourself, hear your story, and find hope and healing. Welcome to Failing Motherhood. You belong here!

I’ve really enjoyed listening to Failing Motherhood. There are some guests which I appear to have nothing in common with on the surface, but after listening to Danielle‘s interview with them I can find solidarity and certainly inspiration from the messages. I find Danielle to be an empathetic and experienced listener, probing at the right moments for further information but also providing encouraging feedback to the guest she has on. It’s great to find this connection with moms for a variety of circumstances.

Great subject and topics
