About this listen

Mom guilt—it’s real, and if you’re a mom with goals, you’ve probably felt it. In this episode, I’m diving into what mom guilt actually is, why it shows up, and how we can stop letting it hold us back. I’m sharing my own experiences with guilt, from questioning if I was spending enough time with my kids to realizing that prioritizing myself actually makes me a better mom.

We’ll talk about my ‘Good Mom Checklist’—a simple mindset shift that helps you see the ways you’re already showing up for your kids. Plus, I’ll break down three key ways to prioritize yourself, communicate your needs, and replace guilt with gratitude. Because the truth is, when you take care of yourself today, tomorrow is going to be better—for you and for them.
