140. How to Find More Peace in Parenting
Podcast: Leadership Parenting- Resilient Moms Raise Resilient KidsPublished On: Wed Apr 01 2026
Description: Send us Fan Mail If you've been parenting in performance mode — measuring yourself against impossible standards, running the replay of every imperfect moment, trying harder and feeling worse — this episode is your exhale. In this follow-up to Episode 135 on perfectionism, Leigh unpacks what she calls the Performance Trap: the invisible pressure to parent like you're always on stage. Using the Five Pillars of the Resiliency System, she walks through what actually shifts when moms stop performing and start simply being present — and why that shift is not a lowering of standards, but the very thing that makes everything easier. You'll come away with a clear understanding of why performance mode works against you, and practical tools for returning to your own center — calmer, more connected, and more like yourself.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
