When Mom Rage Shows Up

Last week on the podcast, my friend Crystal and I talked about something many moms experience but few talk about openly — mom anger.
And then… I had a moment.
After a full week of March break fun, exhaustion, noise, and overstimulation finally caught up with me. As we were packing up to leave our cottage, something inside of me snapped and I completely lost my temper with my family.
The drive home was quiet — and my mind was loud with shame, guilt, and the feeling that maybe I had no right encouraging other moms when I still struggle too.
But the Lord reminded me of something powerful I had done months earlier — burning a picture my kids once coloured of me as an angry, chained-up minion.
That picture represented a lie about my identity.
Yes, I have moments of anger.
Yes, I still mess up.
But that is not who I am.
In this episode I’m sharing the full story — the moment at the cottage, the shame spiral that followed, and why repentance, humility, and grace matter so much in motherhood.
If you've ever felt like your worst parenting moment defines you, this conversation is for you.
You are not alone.
And one hard moment does not make you a bad mom.
