Meet Your Host
JoAnn Crohn
Based on my years of coaching hundreds of moms, I’ve seen just how common this struggle is. So many moms believe they’re being “mean” for focusing on their own needs… while also feeling frustrated, irritable, and overwhelmed when those needs go unmet.
I’ve interviewed countless experts on my top 100 parenting podcast, No Guilt Mom, and written three books that highlight the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries. Inside my membership, I help moms focus on what they can control so they can build better relationships with their kids and actually enjoy their lives again.
This summit brings together the most practical, real-world strategies I’ve seen work again and again.
