“I Feel Like Nobody Is Taking Care of Me”: Disney World & The Mom Olympics

This episode starts as a Disney vacation recap and turns into a conversation about recalibrating expectations, repairing with your kids, saying yes on purpose, and the Olympic-level skills moms use every single day without getting a medal for any of it.

What We’re Talking About in This Episode

→ what happens when your princess kid doesn’t like the princesses

→ “just take a picture”

→ the difference between your expectations and their experience

→ a 3-year-old saying, “I feel like nobody is taking care of me right now”

→ what it looks like when emotional regulation actually works in a chaotic environment

→ the skill of letting fun win

→ the art of the pivot

→ how “losing it” doesn’t always look like yelling

→ and the invisible Olympic sports moms are competing in daily

This episode is really about what happens when reality doesn’t match the picture in your head — whether that’s a vacation, a grocery run, a playdate, or a random Tuesday when everyone’s sick.
