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!

51. Building Resilience with Wendy Dickens
*BIG NEWS* // Kids' Mental Health Skills, DELIVERED //

Wendy Dickens is here to talk trauma, adversity, shame, and hope. She's worked with thousands of families in Shasta County, CA on the child welfare front and sees firsthand how generational cycles affect children today.
Not only does she teach about Adverse Childhood Experiences, but encourages understanding rather than judgment for families that struggle. They still care about their kids!
She identifies the factors that BUILD adversity in children and the one thing they need to thrive.
Together we challenge the "ideal" of rugged individualism and instead aspire toward a supportive community.
Send this episode to a teacher or professional that works with kids - they'll benefit from her perspective and insight into creating trauma-informed approaches!
