About Become A Calm Mama
Become a Calm Mama is a parenting podcast where you learn practical parenting tools and strategies so you can stop yelling, feel more calm, and show up as the mom you want to be. If you’re a mom who ends the day feeling guilty about yelling, overwhelmed by your child’s big feelings, or unsure how to set limits without losing it, this podcast will help you parent with more calm, confidence, and connection. I know that you don’t just want better behavior from your kid. You want to feel capable, confident, and proud of how you parent. The good news is, you don’t have to stay stuck in a cycle of yelling, disconnection, and power struggles. Whether you’re dealing with toddler meltdowns, sibling fights, school struggles, bedtime battles, teen attitude, or your own guilt after yelling, you’ll learn how to handle hard moments without losing yourself in the process. Since 2015, I’ve taught my Connected Parenting Process to hundreds of moms (and dads!). When you apply this simple process to your tricky parenting moments, your kid’s behavior improves, your relationship with your child gets better, and you’ll actually enjoy motherhood (most of the time!). Listen each week for practical strategies so you can stop yelling, become a calm mama, and create the peaceful home you want. Darlynn Childress is the top parenting coach for moms who want to know exactly how to handle misbehavior and create a peaceful home. She is known for her practical strategies and a down to earth understanding of what it’s really like to be a mom raising kids in the 21st century.

Published 15 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I was saying that to my book club friends. I was like, you know what? All the things you're going through are totally normal. This is a very challenging, tense time where your interests and your teenager's interests don't align. Their brain is going through a massive reorg. And there are some things that you can do during this time, which is like slowly letting your teenager go a little bit and letting them make mistakes and letting them flounder and being the support that they need is preparing you for those young adult years. So I thought it'd be useful to talk about what was going on with your teens and what's going on with their brain, what's going on with their social identity, and then give you some of those best practices.
