Episode 186: The Bad Mom Lie with Theresa Todd

A bad moment doesn’t make you a bad mom—but sometimes shame can make it feel that way.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Theresa Todd, host of The BAD Mom Show, for an honest conversation about motherhood, identity, shame, and what it looks like to step into your God-given authority as a mom.

Theresa opens up about growing up with the belief that she was “the bad one” and how that eventually turned into perfectionism, performance, and constantly trying to prove her worth. We talk about how those same patterns followed her into motherhood and what happened when God began showing her that she didn’t have to earn her value through how well she performed.

We also dive into the difference between guilt and shame, how to recognize the lies we’ve believed about ourselves, and how renewing our minds with God’s truth can change the way we lead our homes.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why attaching your worth to your performance can create a cycle of shame
