Mom guilt is real, and when a bad day makes you feel like a bad mom, just know that you are everything your child needs. I wanted to take this episode to share what mom guilt is (cuz it absolutely is real!), when and how it shows up, how it evolves, and how we can overcome it. No mom is perfect, and every mom makes mistakes. But often, to your kids, even those ‘mistakes’ can be exactly what they need. Your kids think you are the best mom even if you forced a missed nap, watched too much TV, or ate dumplings for dinner for the x-th time this week. Let’s normalize the conversation and talk about it all. Mom guilt - the good, the bad, the guilty.
