The BAD Mom Show

Welcome to the BAD MOM Show, where we flip the script on shame and reclaim the stories that moms tell themselves: “I’m too much,” “I’m not enough,” or “I’m just plain bad.” Around here, BAD stands for Blessed, Already approved of, and Divinely designed — to lead your family as the heart of your home. And if that doesn’t sound like you yet, don’t worry. It will. This show is for the moms who feel stuck in the past, overwhelmed by the present, and deep down fear they’re ‘messing it up. It’s for the ones carrying stories they’ve been too ashamed to tell — the fiery, sensitive, strong, loud, emotionally messy, misunderstood woman ready to stop hiding and start healing. Because here’s the truth: God chose you to for your family on purpose. He’s given YOU the authority to lead them boldly. You were divinely designed for this mantle of leadership, to set the tone as the heart of your home. Through raw conversations, real-life stor

  Episode 55: Diving Deeper into the Anxious Achiever- Part 2 w/Nadia Fiorita Sementilli

  Sep 2, 20261h 5m

  Episode 55: Diving Deeper into the Anxious Achiever- Part 2 w/Nadia Fiorita Sementilli Girl, can we just be real? Doing all the things and looking like you’ve got it together is exhausting. In Part 2 of my conversation with Nadia Fiorita-Sementilli, we’re going deeper into the anxious achiever and the roots of this unspoken pressure that fuels performance pressure, a drive to succeed, to be all for everyone and somehow not crack from the weight of it. It's NOT realistic ladies. So how did we get here? That's what we wanted to explore more. We dig into how societal pressure plays a part as well as the role of faith and what your identity is built upon. We also get honest about the fears that lie beneath the hustle, how past rejection impacts us today, the danger of isolation and the power of community. I'd be remiss if we didn't revisit God's design for our brains and the role neuroscience plays in finding healthy ways to slow down, assess motivation, and rewire those powerful thought patterns. Whether you’re a SAHM, climbing the corporate ladder, building a side business, or trying to master all three, it's time to acknowledge that living in a chronic state of stress is hurting more than it's helping. This conversation gave me a LOT to think about, and I hope it does the same for you. If this episode spoke to you, do me a favor and share it with a friend who needs to hear it and leave a review.

  Episode 54: What It Means To Be An Anxious High-Achiever and How It's Impacting You w/Nadia Fiorita-Sementilli

  Aug 26, 202648 min

  Episode 54: What It Means To Be An Anxious High-Achiever and How It's Impacting You w/Nadia Fiorita-Sementilli Some women look like they have it all together but inside, their minds are running a million miles an hour. Can you relate? In this episode, I’m having a very honest conversation with my friend and anxiety expert, Nadia Fiorita-Sementilli, about what it means to be an anxious high-achiever. You might be very driven, productive, dependable, and successful- however you define that. But underneath all of that, you're battling overthinking, perfectionism, comparison, shame, and the feeling that no matter what you do, it’s never enough. This conversation is so important because it impacts women whether they're a stay at home mom or a corporate leader, or somewhere in between with a side hustle and a house to run. Nadia and I talk about the pressure women carry to be everything to everyone, how our thought patterns can keep us stuck in cycles of anxiety and performance, and why “mom guilt” is often pointing to something much deeper. We also get practical about slowing down, becoming aware of your thoughts, getting curious about their roots and how to combat that gnawing pressure to do more, be more, and prove your value. If this episode spoke to you, do me a favor and share it with a friend who needs to hear it and leave a review. This is a conversation every woman needs to hear. And stay tuned for next week where we dive deeper into this topic. For more information on individual support, connect with Nadia!

  Aug 19, 202646 min

  The BAD Mom Show is ONE! I can’t believe we’re already here! One year in and so much to be GRATEFUL for! When I look back at all the conversations had, powerful guests, honest talk about real mom moments, and the impact of taking that step of faith to start the show...I'm reminded of why this work matters.

So thank you for being here because I've needed these messages too and would not be here if it wasn't for your support. In this special anniversary episode, we did things a little differently!

I'm speaking straight to the heart of your leadership as a mom to remind you that your authority is a divine gift and your assignment requires you firmly planted in your true identity-- NOT what the world says or labels you've worn, but the unique, powerful woman He created in you.

  Episode 52: A Summer of Saying YES and What NO Is Costing You

  Aug 12, 202623 min

  Episode 52: A Summer of Saying YES and What NO Is Costing You How's summer been? For most of us it's a great reset. Lot's of rest, less regimented days, and you find yourself saying YES to things you otherwise might not. That's been me too and it got me thinking about how quickly “No” can become our default response. Call it part of parenting but before you know it 'No' is your answer to things like invitations to events, dinners, get togethers, and things that used to light you up. Why is it harder to say 'YES' to things? I get it- you're busy; you don't have room in your schedule; you wish you could be there but maybe next time...sound familiar? Well listen up because on today's episode, we're digging into what's under that tendency to say 'no' before entertaining a 'yes'. And even more importantly, what you're actually missing when you choose convenience and comfort over a 'yes'. I share a story about my own experience of saying YES more this summer and how those moments opened doors for more connection, fun, joy, and opportunities I otherwise would have missed. Yes, there's something about stepping out of your routine, to be inconvenienced, that gives God space to do what only He can. In this episode, you’ll discover: What's under the 'no'? Why it feels easier than saying 'yes'—even when the invitation intrigues you What more white space in your day allows for and what you might miss by being married to your schedule Where God works and the power of saying 'yes' to disrupting your comfort zone I'm also challenging you at the end so don't skip out early! PS. The BAD Mom Show’s having a 1 Year Anniversary LIVE episode TODAY at 12 PM EST on Instagram Live! Come join the celebration and share this episode with a friend! As always, be sure you’re subscribed to The BAD Mom Show so you don't miss a thing. Connect with me: Instagram: @thetheresatodd Facebook: @thetheresatodd Website: www.thetheresatodd.com

  Episode 51: The Art of Etiquette in Business and Beyond w/ Trisha Richardson

  Aug 5, 202622 min

  Somewhere along the way, we started thinking etiquette was about fancy dinners, perfect table settings, and knowing which fork to use. But what if it’s actually something much more human? In Part 2 of my conversation with Trisha Richardson, we’re talking about the art of etiquette—and why these simple skills matter even more in a digital world where genuine connection can feel harder to find. We unpack how etiquette is really an extension of kindness, confidence, and community, from walking into a room and introducing yourself to welcoming people into your home. And moms, this isn’t about adding another standard of perfection to your plate. It’s about creating connection and helping others feel seen, valued, and welcome. In this episode, you’ll discover: The simple shift that can change how confidently you enter any room Why etiquette has far more to do with kindness than following a bunch of rules How creating meaningful community can be much simpler than we make it Your personal style may reflect your identity, but the way you make people feel says something powerful too. Be sure you’re subscribed to The BAD Mom Show, and share this episode with a friend who’d love this conversation! Trisha Richardson: Trisha Richardson is a style and etiquette expert helping women elevate their personal style and presence through wardrobe strategy and etiquette consulting. After more than 15 years as a retail general manager, she recognized that many accomplished women lacked confidence in how they presented themselves, despite their success. Trisha founded Style & Modern Etiquette to help busy women simplify their style and confidently show up their best, both personally and professionally.
