• “I’m Tired of Yelling. I Just Want to Be the Mom God Made Me to Be”: Tools for Peaceful Parenting // 318

  Hey friend— This one’s tender. Because even though I’m not naturally a yeller, I’ve had seasons where the pressure, the noise, the responsibilities… it all just spilled over. And I’d snap. But the shame that followed always hurt worse than the yelling itself.In today’s episode, I’m opening up about those moments and what they taught me. We’ll walk through the difference between external behavior and internal signals—why yelling is usually a red flag that something deeper needs care. I’ll show you simple, practical tools that help you regulate your emotions, guide your kids with gentleness, and create calm even in a loud, high-demand season.If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “This isn’t the mom I want to be…”—this one’s for you.We’ll also talk about the biblical roots of gentleness, how family government reduced the friction in my home, and why yelling is often your body’s cry for support—not a sign you’re failing.💛 KatieP.S.
