Mother guilt is often synonymous with motherhood. But have you ever stopped to wonder why it’s here, and why it has such a grip on you?  In this episode we’re going to walk you through getting self-curious on why you’re doing it, and what you’re using it for. 

In this episode we discuss:

- The eternal game of ‘whack-a-mole’ with guilt

- Getting curious with why you carry guilt

- Getting curious with what you do with guilt as a strategy 

- Recognising your guilt patterns 

- Measuring yourself to a fantasy

- Using guilt as a strategy to avoid anger

- Using guilt as a punishment strategy to keep you ‘toeing a line’ 

- Using guilt as a way to stay in control

- Looking for a more solid self that maybe doesn’t want to be doing ‘the thing’ anymore 

- Giving yourself permission to claim more space 

- Restructuring family life when you change your identity 

- Healthy escapism for regulation vs escapism for avoidance 

- Recognising if you have a skill gap versus not wanting to do that anymore
