Many moms quietly carry the weight of everyone else’s needs — often at the expense of their own. In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist, bestselling author, and sought-after relationship expert who is passionate about helping women feel supported and connected in every season of life. Together, they dive into the common guilt moms experience when prioritizing themselves and why true self-care is about more than surface-level pampering — it’s about nurturing your wellbeing at the core. Dr. Cutlip unpacks three major tension points mothers face: putting everyone’s needs before their own, dealing with unmet expectations, and letting go of perfection in parenting. You’ll hear encouraging insights on building meaningful connection with your kids, embracing “good enough” parenting, and how husbands can be true teammates at home. This conversation will remind every mom: you’re doing far better than you think — and you’re worth caring for too.
