Strap in for a delightful rollercoaster of emotions in today’s episode as we dive deep into the bustling world of motherhood, relationships, and the secret spices (literally) that make or break our daily interactions.
We’re joined today by Morgan Cutlip, Ph.D., who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the new book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do. Morgan shares the not-so-sparkly side of motherhood and how it's more teamwork than a solo mission. Husbands, take note: "Get in there" isn't just a suggestion—it's a necessity, especially when toddlers turn life into a full-contact sport!
Switching gears, Morgan breaks down her dad’s legacy and her own work—the Relationship Attachment Model. Imagine your relationship as a stereo equalizer with sliders for 'know', 'trust', 'rely', 'commit', and 'touch'. Morgan encourages all moms (and dads) to know themselves and their needs. She offers up nuggets of wisdom on managing personal needs without turning into a walking mom-zombie of resentment. It's about finding that sweet spot where self-care meets care for others, without losing yourself to the daily grind.
This episode isn’t just a podcast; it’s a survival guide, a therapy session, and a coffee chat with a good friend all rolled into one. Tune in, laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as we tackle the wild world of motherhood and relationships with humor, empathy, and expert insight.

Feeling overwhelmed as a mom? Tired of doing everything for your kids and wish… just wish… someone would step in to help you out?
Welcome to the No Guilt Mom parenting podcast hosted by author, teacher & parenting coach JoAnn Crohn, M.Ed and co-host parenting coach & educator, Brie Tucker.
Every Tuesday, we give you practical advice for moms and positive parenting tips - all without the shame and guilt. We make it fun.
We’re from a generation where our moms were supposed to be able to do it all. They went to work and yet were still expected to take care of the house and kids.
Our moms put everything extra they had into us kids and we realize there is a better way.
The way to give your kids your best is to give yourself the very best - without the mom guilt. How to master positive parenting without doing absolutely everything.
That means focusing on what you like to do. If you don’t like playing LEGO’s on the floor with your kids, you don’t have, too.
In my parents’ generation, moms gave up everything for their kids and I don’t want to do that.
Kids who learn how to be self-sufficient are happier kids and have happier moms.
Welcome to the No Guilt Mom podcast!
