    Buiding Our Tolerance for Frustration (Dr. Becky)
    Jan 20 2026
    Why do ambitious moms feel like they’re failing even when everything looks successful from the outside? In this enlightening episode of Aspire, Emma sits down with parenting expert and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Dr. Becky Kennedy for a conversation about motherhood, ambition, guilt, and what kids actually need from us. Dr. Becky breaks down why working moms feel stretched so thin, how culture has conditioned women to absorb everyone else’s emotions, and why so many parents secretly believe they’re “not enough.” She explains why emotion regulation is the most important skill we can model for our children, why discomfort is essential for kids’ growth, and how “mom guilt” has been completely misunderstood. Together, Emma and Dr. Becky dive into: Why ambitious moms feel like they’re winning at work but failing at home The real definition of guilt — and why most “mom guilt” isn’t guilt at all How convenience culture has robbed kids of frustration tolerance Why kids don’t need selfless martyrs — they need sturdy leaders The danger of absorbing everyone else’s emotions How to stop judging your parenting by your child’s behavior What to do when you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or in the spiral How parents can learn, grow, and lead with confidence This is the episode every working parent needs to watch. You are not failing, and Dr. Becky explains exactly why. Did this conversation hit home for you? Drop a comment below.
