Why do so many of us moms think we deserve a gold star if we manage to do everything on our own, without a single helping hand? Seriously, when did “exhausted and lonely” become the standard for success in motherhood? Spoiler: it’s not. Because let’s be real—we all need a community to stay sane, avoid burnout, and actually enjoy this wild ride called parenting. In this episode, we’re talking with Florence Ann Romano, personal growth strategist and author of Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life about why it’s time to ditch the guilt of asking for help and embrace the magic of real, meaningful connections. From the six types of people you absolutely need in your circle to why finding your tribe is more important than ever, we’re covering it all. Turns out, the secret to surviving motherhood isn’t doing it alone—it’s knowing who to call when the toddler tantrums hit hard. So, let’s stop pretending we can do it all solo and start building the kind of community that lifts us up. After all, a happy mom is one who knows when to ask for help, lean on her people, and laugh through the chaos. ??♀️✨

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!
