Podcast Episode 419: Yelled at Your Kids? Here’s How to Repair (Without the Mom Guilt Spiral)

You’re standing in the kitchen surrounded by cereal bowls, lost shoes, and at least one child melting down because their favorite hoodie is in the wash. You’ve said “let’s go” so many times your voice is hoarse, and then-boom!

You yell.

Not a stern voice. Not a “mom voice.” An actual yell. Maybe a door slam. Maybe a “FOR THE LOVE ALL THAT IS HOLY- CAN SOMEONE JUST LISTEN TO ME?!”

And then the guilt crashes in. You see their faces. You feel the weight. And now you’re googling how to repair after yelling at your kids while half-hiding in the bathroom, wondering if you’ve just ruined everything.

First things first: you haven’t.

Yelling happens. Even to the calm moms. Even to the ones who read all the parenting books, stock up on sensory bins, and have lavender oil diffusing in the background. None of that makes you immune to being a human under pressure and parenting is nothing if not relentless pressure. So let’s take that deep, shaky breath together and talk about what to do after you lose it.

Because here’s the thing: it’s not about never yelling. That bar? It’s unrealistic and frankly, unfair. You’re raising small humans while also trying to remember where your keys are, manage a million mental tabs, and maybe drink your coffee before it goes cold. You’re allowed to have limits. You’re allowed to snap. What matters more is how you repair after yelling at your kids… and that’s exactly what this episode is about.

In this episode, you’ll feel seen. Like, really seen. The kind of seen where you think, “Wait, did someone bug my minivan?” Whether your kid gets quiet and hurt or goes full firecracker and yells right back, we’ve been there. And we’re sharing how to come back from those moments with heart, with humor, and with your dignity intact.

So if your morning (or bedtime, or Tuesday in general) ended in a blow-up, hit play. This is your reminder that one moment doesn’t define your motherhood. How you show up after– that’s where the magic is.

Why yelling doesn’t make you a bad mom (we’ve ALL been there)

How to do “mini-repairs” that build trust; even after a full-blown, yelling-over-nothing meltdown
