• When Honesty Makes You ‘A Bad Mom’

  What happens when a mother tells the truth about how she feels?On this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky cracks open the viral Instagram post that stirred up thousands of reactions...both deeply supportive and shockingly judgmental.The post was simple:“I’m a parent who does not thrive with constant little-kid energy.”But the internet heard:“You don’t love your kids.”“You’re cold.”“You’re rejecting your children.”“You shouldn’t have had them.”In today’s conversation, Vanessa breaks down why mothers’ honesty is so threatening, the emotional labor that gets erased in motherhood, and the very real nervous-system limitations that social media refuses to acknowledge.This episode is a grounded, unfiltered look at what mothers actually experience behind the scenes and why naming those truths is not only allowed, but essential for our mental health, our relationships, and our kids’ emotional safety.If you’ve ever felt guilty for being overstimulated, overwhelmed, touched-out, or simply human…this episode will feel like coming home.

• The Inner Room: Waking Up to the Sh*t You've Been Avoiding

  In this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky dives into what most people avoid: the truth that change isn’t blocked by willpower... it’s blocked by invisibility. We can’t shift what we’ve never slowed down enough to see.Through honest stories, clinical insight, and the kind of emotional x-ray only a therapist-mom-human can bring, Vanessa explores how unconscious patterns quietly run the show: the over-functioning, the shutdowns, the chronic self-protection that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck.She breaks down why capacity: emotional, nervous-system, mental capacity is the foundation for growth, and why most of us try to change from a dysregulated place that cannot support transformation.This episode is an invitation to wake up from autopilot, meet your inner world with curiosity instead of criticism, and build the internal spaciousness required to actually witness your life… instead of just surviving it.It’s not self-help. It’s self-seeing.
