Breaking Unhealthy Cycles, Death by Social Media, and Mom Comparison Freedom with Kim Anderson

October 13, 2025

Is motherhood harder now than a decade ago? Between the endless comparison on social media, the pressure to “do it all,” and the guilt of not being enough, moms are carrying more than ever before.

That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Kim Anderson — licensed counselor, coach, author, and founder of Elevate Moms. Kim shares wisdom from years of counseling moms, plus her own journey as a military spouse and mom of two. She gives practical tools and deep encouragement to help you move from overwhelmed to equipped, from perfectionism to peace.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why social media can feel like the forbidden fruit of motherhood
    How to recognize negative self-talk and stop the comparison spiral
  • Why you only need to “get it right” 30% of the time
  • Practical tools like SOS: Stop, Observe, Shift to regulate emotions
  • How to set boundaries, create structure, and bring calm into your home
  • The key to becoming a cycle-breaker and giving your kids the best of you

Kim reminds us that healing starts with moms — and when we do the work, our kids reap the blessing for generations.
