Living life in a technology-saturated,  hyper-scheduled and, therefore, over-stimulated world leads to overwhelm. Moms have always felt overwhelmed with the responsibilities of parenting, but now EVERYONE, those with children and without, are operating in overwhelm. The mental state of overwhelm has become so common that we assume this is normal. But we know that God’s design is for our hearts and homes to be full of peace, hope, and joy. Together we can do the work to recognize, respond to, and reduce the overwhelm in our lives and in our families with just a few simple changes.

Sometimes we feel mom guilt about circumstances beyond our control, or about choices that are not necessarily mistakes or misses. We fantasize or catastrophize, which simply intensifies the mom guilt. Many moms who work outside the home experience this assumed mom guilt. One of the keys to managing assumed mom guilt is making decisions and choices based on your family’s values.

There’s no such thing as a perfect parent - we ALL make parenting mistakes. But, if we aren’t careful, the guilt we feel about those mistakes can keep us from moving forward and parenting in a healthy and productive way. When we make a parenting mistake, we can learn to respond to guilt by giving ourselves grace and using those experiences to learn and grow.

Mom Guilt is real and present in every mom’s life, but it doesn’t have to dominate our thoughts or dictate our decisions. We can learn to manage mom guilt, so that it doesn’t negatively impact how we parent moving forward. In this episode, we look at the difference between ACCURATE and ASSUMED guilt, helping us recognize accurate guilt from an actual mistake and assumed guilt from a situation or circumstance that isn’t an actual mistake.
