“Why can’t I just be normal?” It’s the question that plays on loop in the minds of so many moms—especially when life feels chaotic, your kids are acting out, and every other parent seems to have it all together.

She shares personal stories, science-backed takeaways, and five ways to challenge shame and redefine “normal” for your family, on your terms.
