If you're a devoted mother who loves her family deeply but carries a heavy load of guilt about wanting something for yourself, this episode is your permission slip to matter in your own life.

In this solo episode, we're tackling the guilt that keeps so many loving mothers stuck in cycles of self-sacrifice. You'll discover why that nagging voice telling you you're "selfish" for having needs isn't actually your maternal instinct—it's cultural programming that's harming both you and your children.

What You'll Learn:

• **Why devoted mothers feel guilty about self-focus** (and why it's completely normal but not helpful)

• **The cultural lies** we've internalized about what makes a "good mother"—and why perfectionism and martyrdom are actually damaging

• **How constant self-sacrifice hurts your children** by modeling unhealthy relationships and creating pressure they were never meant to carry

• **The difference between being selfish and being self-preserving**—and why your intentions matter

• **How to reframe self-care as essential modeling** that teaches your children how to be healthy adults

• **Practical strategies for managing guilt** when it shows up (because it will)

• **What your children actually need to see from you**—spoiler alert: it's not perfection or sacrifice

## Permission Statements You'll Receive:

✓ You are allowed to have dreams beyond your children
✓ Wanting time for yourself doesn't make you a bad mother
✓ Your children benefit when you show up as a whole person


**Perfect for:** Devoted mothers who struggle with guilt around self-care, feel stuck in cycles of self-sacrifice, or wonder if wanting more makes them selfish.

**Not just inspiration—transformation.** This episode gives you practical tools to move beyond guilt and into a version of motherhood that serves both you and your children.

**Listen if:** You've ever felt guilty for wanting time alone, pursuing a dream, or simply taking care of yourself. You'll leave with both permission and practical strategies to create the change you've been craving.

*Your children are watching how you treat yourself—make sure you're teaching them that they matter too.*

In this debut episode of the La Rose Mère Podcast, we break down why a lot of women (including myself) find themselves in a constant state of burnout and the key to breaking the cycle!
