Ep:(186) The Bad Mom Lie with Theresa Todd

Episode 186: The Bad Mom Lie with Theresa Todd   A bad moment doesn’t make you a bad mom—but sometimes shame can make it feel that way.   In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Theresa Todd, host of *The BAD Mom Show*, for an honest conversation about motherhood, identity, shame, and what it looks like to step into your God-given authority as a mom.   Theresa opens up about growing up with the belief that she was “the bad one” and how that eventually turned into perfectionism, performance, and constantly trying to prove her worth. We talk about how those same patterns followed her into motherhood and what happened when God began showing her that she didn’t have to earn her value through how well she performed.   We also dive into the difference between guilt and shame, how to recognize the lies we’ve believed about ourselves, and how renewing our minds with God’s truth can change the way we lead our homes.   In this episode, you’ll discover: - Why attaching your worth to your performance can create a cycle of shame - The difference between guilt and shame—and why shame attacks your identity - How to recognize your triggers and get curious about what’s underneath them - Why motherhood is one of the most important mantles of leadership - How God’s Word can help you challenge the lies you’ve believed about yourself - What it looks like to take spiritual authority and boldly speak truth over your family   Motherhood was never meant to be a performance you have to perfect. You are already loved, chosen, and equipped by God for the family He has entrusted to you.   If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, *“I’m a bad mom,”* I hope this conversation reminds you that one hard moment does not define who you are. You can receive grace, renew your mind, and lead your home from a place of identity instead of shame.   Connect with Theresa and learn more about *The BAD Mom Show* and the resources she offers for moms who want to grow in confidence, faith, and leadership.   IG: https://www.instagram.com/thetheresatodd/ www.thetheresatodd.com   Want more free resources to help you grow your business and overcome what’s holding you back?
