About this listen
If you’ve ever packed a suitcase for work or booked a trip and immediately felt the mum guilt hit like a freight train this one’s for you.
In this episode of Big Mum Energy, Ali gets real about the emotional tug-of-war of being a working mum. We’re talking:
💼 The guilt of chasing career goals while raising kids
✈️ How travel, long hours, and being “away” can leave you questioning if you’re failing at motherhood
🧠 Why mum guilt is more about society’s expectations than your actual parenting
💖 How to reframe time away as a lesson in resilience, independence, and showing your kids what hard work looks like
Because the truth is: being a good mum isn’t about being there every second of every day it’s about showing up with love, presence, and purpose when you are there.
So if you’re drowning in guilt for working, traveling, or just needing space from the chaos, pour a wine (or a coffee) and remind yourself you’re not failing, you’re just human.
