Jess unpacks the many forms of parental guilt — from the helpful kind to the kind that drains us dry — and shares practical ways to reclaim rest, presence, and emotional space. Through real stories, humor, and grounded strategies, she reminds parents that guilt shows up because we care, but it doesn’t have to run the show. The episode ends with comforting Wine Down Wisdom, an easy weeknight recipe, and two powerful moments of relief that highlight the healing power of connection.
