Why good moms feel bad (and how to stop letting your emotions run the show) with Rebecca Geshuri

Why good moms feel bad (and how to stop letting your emotions run the show) with Rebecca Geshuri

Rebecca Geshuri, therapist and co-author of the new book When Good Moms Feel Bad joins me to talk about why so many "good moms" still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles of guilt, anger, and self-criticism.

Together we explore:

- Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) Rebecca breaks down what "parts work" is and how understanding your inner parts can reduce reactivity and shame.

- How polarization between "what my child needs" and "what I need" fuels burnout and emotional overwhelm.

- Why parenting feels hardest when younger, protective parts take over.

- What the "inner mom" is and how learning to access this part of yourself builds calm, confidence, and connection.

- A simple framework to slow down in triggering moments and respond with more compassion.

- How self-compassion and nervous system awareness support secure attachment — for both you and your child.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in parenthood, this episode offers validation, language for what you're experiencing, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, regulated, and connected.
