How to Overcome Mom Guilt and Prioritize Self-Care


Listen Later

Tomorrow is the big day! My newest book, Remaining You While Raising Them, releases into the world, and I can’t wait for it to be in your hands! 

To celebrate, my friend Phoebe Barron is here to turn the tables and interview me!

Phoebe is the mental health consultant on Remaining You While Raising Them. She is a licensed counselor and counseling professor. She speaks to churches about emotional health and lives in Oklahoma with her husband, three kids, and fluffy golden doodle. 

I’m thrilled for you to hear some of her perspectives firsthand (you know, I couldn’t resist sneaking in a few questions of my own!). 

Join Phoebe and I as we discuss: 

  • The single biggest driver of mom guilt (secret: it’s not your mom or your MIL)

  • Why having a mother who models caring for herself and her needs is so important to our daughters (and our sons!)

  • One magic question that keeps “taking care of mom” from becoming just another thing on your to-do list

  • How trusting your gut and doing what’s best for your family are backed by research 

  • My ultimate goal for writing THIS book

  • Favorite quotes:

    • “When I asked about mom guilt almost all women said they had mom guilt but the single biggest driver was social media.”
  • “The most important thing we can do to be good moms is to make sure that we are as emotionally healthy as possible.”
  • “Taking care of ourselves emotionally is the most selfless thing we can do for our families.”
  • “Getting in the habit of saying what do I need right now is the ultimate self-care.”
  • “There are a few ways of really parenting up. There are a ton of ways of getting it good enough and there are no ways of getting it perfect.”
  • “Our job is to model health to our children, discipline our children, and give them discipline but most of all to love our children. If we do those things our kids are going to be just fine.” 
  • Links to great things we discussed: 

    • Remaining You While Raising Them

  • Oppenheimer

  • I’ve Witnessed It- Passion and Melodie Malone

  • The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
