Why Do We Feel Mom Guilt In The First Place?


Listen Later

Most of us feel mom guilt at one point or another (and for many of us, it can be a daily occurrence). In this episode, I get into why that is - exploring the historical and societal contexts that contribute to mom guilt as well as how our friends and family and our own internalized beliefs amplify the feeling.

When we understand why mom guilt arises in our own lives, addressing the thoughts that cause the feeling becomes much more manageable. So consider this episode a foundational piece of living a more guilt-free motherhood, and doing things more aligned with your own values than outside expectations.

Here is the free downloadable guide mentioned in the episode that will help you learn to manage the thoughts that lead to mom guilt.
