Mom Guilt vs. Mom Shame (And How to Overcome Both More Effectively!)

How to overcome mom guilt & mom shame - because you deserve a break (and some compassion) | In this solo episode, we will focus on understanding the differences between mom guilt and mom shame. Starting with that awareness alone can help us identify both our own maternal and societal expectations of us as mothers. Knowledge is power, right?! 🧠

This one is for anyone feeling the invisible weight of motherhood - both from their own inner mean girl and any other mom-shame-y beliefs we need to ditch. You deserve to have breaks, to step away, to care for yourself. YOU DESERVE A BREAK! And a whole lotta compassion. 🗣 I will shout it from the rooftops if I have to.

I will also give you a much-deserved mindset shift to get you rooted back on your feet, practical strategies to overcome mom guilt, and plenty of resources to continue your growth journey.
