This one flows on from episode 5 all about The Should's and here we dive deep into guilt and shame. This is a bit of a heavier episode and we share our own experiences with guilt, shame, anger, rage, anxiety and depression, as well as perfectionism, comparison and not feeling good enough. We also chat openly about struggles in this area with things like housework, baby sleep, breastfeeding and food for our kids.

We chat through how you can start to peel back the layers and catch yourself in the spirals of shame and how to prevent guilt from becoming consuming.

The oracle card pulled for this episode was Broken Branches (from the Witching Hour deck). This card was our invitation to let go of all the heaviness and heartache that guilt and shame can weigh heavily on us.
