Failing Motherhood
If you're riddled with mom guilt, your temper scares you, you're terrified you're screwing up your kids and are afraid to admit any of those things out loud....this podcast is for you. Hosted by Danielle Bettmann, parenting coach for families with 1-10-year-old strong-willed kids, Failing Motherhood is where shame-free vulnerability meets breakthroughs.
Every other week is a storytelling interview about one mom's raw and honest experience of growth that leads to new perspectives and practical strategies and every other week solo episodes focus on actionable insight into parenting your deeply feeling, highly sensitive, *spicy* child.
Here, we normalize the struggle, share openly about our insecurities, and rally around small wins and truths. We hope to convince you you're not alone and YOU are the parent your kids need. We hope you see yourself, hear your story, and find hope and healing.
Welcome to Failing Motherhood. You belong here!

11. Becoming a Fierce Advocate with Kristin Roth
One of every mama's biggest fears is a life-altering medical diagnosis for their child.
Kristin Roth details her journey from woozy with wounds to fierce mama bear. Both of her sons have been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and she was trained by firehouse with the high stakes protocol to keep their levels regulated.
"You are essentially trying to be a human pancreas with the tools of a blood sugar meter, syringes and 2 vials of different types of insulin. The pancreas does not "sleep" so you can't either...well, at least not straight through the night. The pressure, lack of sleep and the fact that those first few months are some of the most difficult to manage are a recipe for extreme anxiety, overwhelm, and depression. Like many situations, you may feel very supported right after the diagnosis, but as the weeks and months go on, the support and encouragement fade."
"Now I look back and I realize I was trying to control my sons more than I was trying to control the disease."
For any mama sacrificing and serving the unique needs of their child, I hope you heed Kristin's advice.
For any families experiencing a new diagnosis of diabetes in their family, connect with Kristin!
