An open conversation about triggers, fears, overcorrecting, and the emotional weight of raising a child when you didn’t always feel emotionally safe growing up.

A real, validating episode about feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, touched out, and still deeply loving your child. Burnout is real, it doesn’t mean you’re failing! It’s okay to step away and just do the best you can, that’s all anyone should except from you. You are doing enough!

Inviting my first guest, my amazing husband Landon! in this two part episode, we have an honest conversation disappointment, resentment and choosing your partner even in the messy middle seasons.

We have to focus on the process— not just the idea of breaking generational patterns. This episode we talk about the unlearning, relearning, healing, boundaries. What it feels like to raise your child differently from how you were raised.

From celebrations to consistency, let’s reflect, grow and share into the new year! Happy 2026!

Welcome to chaotic joy where it gets raw, real, and relatable. Here our host, maddie, sets the foundation for the whole message. We grew up in chaos and we chose joy through it all anyways.
