Summary

Grab your coffee, your Coke, your kombucha, or in my case today, maybe a butter croissant, because y’all, we need to talk about the inner voice we give our kids.

In this episode of After Hours With Amanda, I’m talking about parenting, self talk, emotional regulation, and the way our tiny humans start building their inner dialogue way earlier than we sometimes realize.

This one started with a moment I still think about. I was on the phone with a friend, talking about being tired after Corey was born, and London heard it in a way I never intended. She thought I was tired because of her. And that moment made me stop and think about what our kids hear, what they absorb, and what starts becoming the voice in their own little minds.

I’m sharing stories about bento boxes, school lunch panic, spicy kids, labels like strong willed, the fake bunny we keep chasing, and why “I can’t” is something I try to help my girls reframe into “I need help.”

This is not a rulebook. It’s just me learning out loud about motherhood, self talk, parenting tiny people, and teaching our kids not to become their own biggest bully.

If no one has told you lately, you are loved, you are worthy, you are needed, and you do not have to tear yourself down to grow.

Send this to someone who needs a kinder voice in their head today.

0:00.0	Welcome back to episode three of the After Hours with Amanda podcast. I'm not going to lie. I am
0:06.6	low-key excited for myself that I actually said. I was going to upload on Wednesdays and I have
0:12.7	consistently now for three weeks in a row done this because if you know anything about me or if you've
0:17.8	even seen my content at all, you know I am the queen of rabbit trails and squirrel.
0:22.8	Like when I saw that movie up for the first time and that dog was like, squirrel, squirrel,
0:27.0	I was like, it's my spirit animal. They have finally discovered me as a cartoon character.
0:33.8	Also, before we jump in, can we just talk about how delicious butter croissants are?
0:40.0	This is very important to touch on.
0:43.3	I usually have a smoothie in the morning because, you know, blah, blah, blah, it's a healthy
0:48.1	thing to do.
0:48.7	I'm in my 30s.
0:49.5	I need vitamins.
0:50.3	All that jazz, right?
0:51.2	Like all the reasons you need to do those things.
0:54.1	And I have not had a
0:55.6	better croissant in a bit. Not, let me tell you, let's clarify, Mama loves her carbs. I eat them all
1:01.2	the time. I'm not a stranger to that. But a butter croissant specifically, well, look at me getting
1:05.9	emails. I hadn't had in a while. So I ordered one this morning.
1:14.0	There's literally nothing better than a butter croissant.
1:16.0	It was so delicious.
1:23.4	So I am filling myself, feeling energized, totally caffeinated, and ready to jump into what episode three is.
