The Habit That Builds Connection, Not Chaos

Dr. Betsey, DPT
In today’s episode of Habits of a Mother, we’re diving into a powerful (and surprisingly hard) habit: saying yes to our kids.

If you feel like you’re constantly battling a mental to-do list and struggling to be fully present, you’re not alone. I’m sharing real moments from our recent California trip, how my word of the year—delight—is shaping my parenting, and why learning to say yes more often is transforming my motherhood journey.

We’ll talk about when it’s wise to say no, how to manage the mental load without resenting our kids, and practical ways to build deeper connection, joy, and flexibility into your days.Whether you're a busy stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or just a mama in the thick of it all, this episode will encourage you to slow down, savor the small moments, and embrace the beauty in the messy, ordinary days.Tune in for real talk, practical encouragement, and a gentle reminder that saying yes to our kids might be one of the most powerful habits we build this year.
