Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms

Guilt because you love your job


Listen Later

Many ambitious career driven women experience guilt because they love what they do and sometimes they like it more than being with their kids. Our culture says that our maternal instincts should be stronger than anything else, but for some that isn’t the case (hence the guilt). On today’s episode, I talk about why it’s OK to love what you do and why it makes sense that it’s more interesting than your kids. And at the end, I will send you off with 3 practical exercises to help all of that guilt melt away.

Topics in this episode:
  • Why we self-inflict guilt with our thoughts
  • The two different types of guilt and where it comes from
  • Why it’s ok to find your job more interesting than your kids
  • The importance of believing you are a good mom and determining exactly what that means to you
  • 3 practical exercises that will allow that guilt to melt away
