Back To Work: for stay at home moms feeling overwhelmed and anxious about finding and getting a job.

Back to Work - I feel like I'm neglecting my kids if I enjoy work - Ep 008


Listen Later

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest mindset blocks moms face when going back to work; the belief that if I enjoy working, I’m neglecting my kids.

We'll share how to reframe that guilt and what it really means to model purpose, fulfillment, and balance for our kids.

3 Takeaways:

  1. Enjoying your work doesn’t make you a bad mom — it shows your kids what fulfillment looks like.

  2. Discomfort (for you and your kids) is part of growth, not a sign you’re doing something wrong.

  3. The questions you ask yourself shape how you feel — shift from “Am I neglecting them?” to “How might this benefit my family?”
