being a mom is an incredible gift, but it's also really, really hard. sometimes, the daily grind, stress, and exhaustion can chip away at our joy, without us even realizing it. in this episode, we explore the hidden impact joylessness can have on our children.  we'll discuss how to break the cycle of generational joylessness, the importance of prioritizing our own happiness, and the powerful message we send our kids when we make joy a conscious choice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
✨kids are always watching.
they internalize our moods, even when we don't think they're paying attention.
joylessness can seep into our children. when mom struggles to find joy, kids can start to internalize that, leading to guilt, dimmed enthusiasm, and a muted view of life.
joy is a choice. we can break the chain of generational joylessness by modeling healthy emotions and making happiness a priority.
fill your "mom-tank". just like you can't drive on empty, you can't parent well without filling yourself up first. small acts of self-care go a long way.
joy is found in the everyday. it's not about grand gestures, but those small, shared moments of connection that build a joyful home.
