A very important Dear Lorraine episode this week - I’m responding to listener Elke, who says: “I’m thinking about returning to work post baby and I’m struggling with Mum Guilt.”

I’ve taken a wider lens in my response to her, and talked about Mum Guilt more broadly.  

I cover: 

• The importance of separating out societal-induced Mum Guilt, and our own motherly instincts
• My two experiences of Mum Guilt 
• Celebrating yourself as a mum 
• Women as the “emotional thermometer” of the household 
• How I pushed myself too hard after having Lexi

I so hope this episode helps to soothe your soul and reinforce your own innate wisdom and worth as a mother.

I see you!
