[Bite of balance] Mom guilt

Ever felt that sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach when you realize, amidst a perfectly orchestrated day, you've forgotten your kid's baseball cap? That's mom guilt - and it's got a stranglehold on 94% of us, making us feel like we're forever falling short of some mythical maternal mark. In this episode, I, Teresa, go beyond just nodding in agreement about the struggles of motherhood. Instead, I'm dissecting the two sides of guilt and sharing why it's crucial to distinguish the growth-inspiring from the irrational.

Strap in, fellow moms, as we confront the pressures and judgements that fuel the chaos of mom guilt. From the stay-at-home moms wrangling with the idea they should be working to the working moms drowning in the stigma of 'not enough time with the kids,' our battles are as unique as they are universal. But here's the kicker - I'll unveil a life-saving strategy that shifted the tide in my own life. It's about self-care without guilt because, let's face it, you can't pour from an empty cup. By the time we sign off, you'll be ready to extend yourself that much-needed grace and face parenting with a fresh dose of strength and resilience.
