The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

34. Self-Doubt as a Mom


Listen Later

From sugar habits, continuing grief after the kids leave, to finding blessings in every season with your kids, this episode has sooo much jammed into it. It will give ya some laughter, some advice about doubting your mothering skills, a quote that rocked Anne’s world about perfectionism and everything in between.


We chat today:

  1. Looking for the joy and inspiration where you are

  2. How we need to encourage each other in the Empty Nest season

  3. Thoughts from listeners of the show 

  4. What to do with the self-talk of “am I doing enough as a mom?”

  5. Why self condemnation as a mom isn’t helpful or healthy and what to focus on instead

  6. Comfort from God for mothers

  7. Laughing at yourself vs beating yourself up

  8. Why your kids need to see you mess up sometimes

  9. Looking at the sum total of what your kids have experienced from you
