41. Where does Mom guilt come from?


Listen Later

95% of moms feel guilty. And only 19% of dad's say they feel guilty about parenting. This episode shines a light on a few reasons why moms tend to feel more guilty than dads.

Guilt can be helpful when we have acted outside of our value system.

Guilt is not helpful when we believe that we are bad because of our actions. When guilt begins to shape the way we look at ourselves and becomes a leading force in our identity then guilt is without a doubt unhelpful.

We have been conditioned as women especially as mothers as to how we SHOULD act. And "should" lives next to shame. And when we don't operate exactly in that vision that is cast for us by society then we can feel judged, shame and guilty for not living up to the unrealistic expectations that have been presented to us.
