Summary

Have you ever noticed that some of the parents in Disney movies…aren’t exactly the best role models? They love their kids deeply, but their fears, expectations, and blind spots often get in the way of connection. As I rewatched a few of these classics recently, I couldn’t help but think, "These parents could really use the Self-Assured Motherhood program!" In this episode, I’m sharing three SAM principles through the lens of Disney families—because studying cartoon characters makes everything more fun (and surprisingly relatable!): 🌊 Moana and the importance of Voicing Your Values—so family conflict becomes easier to navigate ☃️ Frozen and how to Support Their Struggles—instead of trying to “fix” everything for our kids 🐻 Brave and why we need to Gather the Good—to shift our focus from nagging to noticing strengths For full show notes, including takeaways, click ⁠here⁠. *** Announcements: 🧐 Don’t forget: the week this episode is released, I’m also offering my free masterclass: How to Lighten the Mental Load of Motherhood.
