Mama, You Know That Moment...
When you've just yelled at your kid over something small - the stool scraping across the floor, the spilled milk, the whining - and you see that look in their eyes?
That scared, apprehensive look that breaks your heart because YOU put it there?
And then the guilt hits. The shame. The "I'm turning into my mother" spiral.
You swore you'd parent differently. You read all the books. You follow all the Instagram accounts. You KNOW about gentle parenting.
But in the moment? When you're touched out, overstimulated, and running on fumes? You lose it anyway.
And then you spiral.
"I'm a terrible mom."
"I'm traumatizing my kids."
"I can't believe I yelled AGAIN."
"Why can't I just get this right?"
Here's the truth: You are not the problem. Your kids are not the problem. The problem isn't even that you yelled. The problem might be that you feel like shit and don’t know how to circle back and repair with your kids because your parents didn’t show you.
And that - the repair, not the perfection - is what actually breaks generational patterns.
Here's What You'll Have the Opportunity For
In this live, 60-minute workshop, you'll:
✅ Understand What Cycles + Patterns You're Breaking (The "I Didn't Receive" Exercise)
The opportunity: You'll identify exactly what you didn't receive as a child that you're now trying to give your kids. This 2-column exercise helps you see what pattern you're breaking so you stop thinking you're failing and start recognizing you're already doing the work.
Most mothers try to break patterns by giving MORE to their kids. This exercise shows you how to give yourself what you never got so you can actually show up regulated for repair.
✅ Create Your Repair Resource (Creative Expression, Not Homework)
The opportunity: You'll have a tangible tool you created - not another PDF you save and never look at again.
I'll guide you through a therapeutic art exercise that puts to paper what rupture and repair actually feel like in your body. This isn't therapy homework you won't do - I'm doing it WITH you, in real time.
We will use markers, colors, scribbles, and marks to externalize what it feels like when you lose it.
When you're done, you'll have YOUR resource. A physical thing you can look at next time you snap and think "oh right, here's how I come back."
✅ Learn a Simple Repair Framework (The Practical "What Do I Actually Do" Part)
The opportunity: You'll stop wondering "am I doing this right?" and have a clear framework to follow every time.
No scripts. No Instagram-perfect apologies. Just a clear, simple 6-step framework you can use when you're dysregulated and need to come back to your kid.
This is what you do AFTER you lose it. The practical steps that work even when you're still pissed off.
This REPAIR Workshop Is For You If:
✅ You yell at your kids and then want to crawl into a hole
You're not looking for someone to tell you it's fine. You're looking for what to do next.
✅ You're trying to parent differently but you keep sounding exactly like your mother/father/adult who raised you
You swore you'd never say the things she said. But in the heat of the moment, there you are. And you hate yourself for it.
✅ You know the theory but can't apply it when you're dysregulated
You probably already follow Dr. Becky and have been tempted to watch some Super Nanny videos. You follow all the Instagram therapists. You KNOW better. But knowing doesn't help when you're in the moment and losing your shit.
✅ You spiral in guilt after you snap
The yelling is bad. The guilt spiral afterward is worse. You can't stop replaying it. Beating yourself up. Wondering if you just traumatized your kid forever.
✅ You want practical tools, not more "be calm" advice
You don't need someone to tell you to take deep breaths. You need to know WHAT TO SAY and WHAT TO DO when you need to repair.
This Workshop ISN'T For You If:
❌ You're looking for a magic fix that makes you never yell again (that doesn't exist)
❌ You want theoretical knowledge without doing the actual work
❌ You think repair is "soft parenting" and kids just need consequences
❌ You're not ready to look at your own childhood patterns
❌ You just want to spontaneously stop yelling without changing anything
Be honest with yourself. If you're not ready to do the work, this isn't the workshop for you. And that's okay.

What Makes This REPAIR Workshop Different
This isn't another fucking webinar where someone tells you to "just stay calm" and you leave feeling worse about yourself or worse they just pitched you their paid thing the whole time and GAVE you ZERO solutions.

✅ Doing the actual work in real time, guided step-by-step
✅ Walking away with something tangible you created yourself
✅ Practical tools you can use immediately
❌ NOT another gentle parenting lecture where you're told what you "should" do
❌ NOT a course with 47 videos you'll never watch
❌ NOT homework you'll feel guilty about not completing
About Kayla
I'm Kayla Huszar, a Registered Social Worker and Expressive Arts Therapist. I've been featured on CBC's "The Current" and in Maclean's discussing the impossible standards of modern motherhood.
I run The Motherload Membership - a therapeutic community for mothers who are trying to do it differently than they were raised. I specialize in maternal mental health, mom rage, and breaking generational patterns through creative expression.
Here's what I believe:
You don't need more parenting strategies. You need to repair your relationship with yourself first.
Most therapists will tell you to "manage your stress" or "practice self-care." I'm telling you that you can't regulate yourself if you never learned how. Your parents didn't model repair. They didn't come back after they lost it. They didn't acknowledge when they hurt you.
So you're doing something they never did: you're coming back. You're trying to repair. You're breaking the pattern.
That's not failure. That's revolutionary.
This workshop is where you learn how to do it—not perfectly, but consistently. Not because you have to earn your kids' love, but because you're teaching them (and yourself) that rupture doesn't mean the end of connection.
