Mother Flipping Awesome

By: Abigail Wald
  • Summary

  • A parenting podcast for everyday superheroes in need of a pick me up. Parenting requires a heroic effort every day: Wake everyone. Feed everyone. Get out the door on time. Do your work. Make a living. Keep a home. Stop the siblings from attacking each other. Walk the dog. Care for yourself. Make sure they're doing their homework. Teach them emotional skills. Do the laundry. Get the teen to put the phone down. Tend to your adult relationships. Read the middle one a story. Get them to sleep on time. Do the dishes. Try to sleep yourself – if the baby lets you. Start over. Some days we do it all feeling like Wonder Woman / Superman, leaping over meltdowns in a single bound, and some days we feel like lowly mortals who can't catch a break or even get a moment to pee! We at MFA are your superhero headquarters for this heroic mission. We help you rise to the demands of this extraordinary job, and we are your emotional safety net for when you fall. Most of all, we're here to speak with profound honesty about the honestly profound work of parenting, because we believe our stories deserve to be told. Welcome, we're glad you're here.

  • Why parenting sometimes breaks your brain
    Sep 11 2024

    Do you ever feel like your brain has done a marathon after spending a day with your kid? The tiredness you feel is real, and there's an actual BRAIN reason for it! Listen in to find out what it is and what you can do about it!

    P.S. The experiences I describe in this episode can be especially hard for those of us who are neurodiverse, because parenting adds a whole other level of tasks onto an already sensitive and sometimes overwhelmed brain!

  • Parents, stop comparing yourselves to others!
    Sep 8 2024

    We know that it feels yucky to compare our KIDS to someone else's kids. So why do we compare OURSELVES and our PARENTING to other people's lives and parenting? We do it because inside every comparison are some important values that are trying to get our attention, so today I am offering you a way to benefit from the best of comparison, while avoiding the worst.
