Balance & Beyond

Breaking Free from Mum Guilt


Listen Later

Is mum guilt keeping you up at night? Imagine a world where you could redefine what it means to be a good mum based on your values, not society's outdated expectations. Join us on Balance and Beyond as we tackle the heavy burden of mum guilt with our insightful guest, Jaclyn. Together, we explore the relentless societal pressures that force mothers into a frantic cycle of justifying their choices. By sharing our personal journeys, we illustrate how challenging these norms and embracing your own values can lead to a healthier, more balanced approach to motherhood.

We also delve into the crucial difference between guilt and regret, especially when it comes to prioritising yourself and balancing responsibilities. Jaclyn and Jo reveal how guilt often masks deeper, unmet values and discuss strategies to restore these values, fostering a positive emotional environment.ย 

We emphasise the importance of breaking free from habitual guilt to reclaim joy and presence in our lives. Tune in for practical advice on practising regret and restoration, and learn how to model healthier emotional responses for your children, paving the way for a more fulfilling journey through motherhood.

For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.

We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.

If something landed today, there's more where that came from.

And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
