129 | The Hidden Cost of Being a 'Good' Mom with Julia Sewell
from THE RESILIENT WORKING MUM, Stress Management, Time Management, Boundaries, Work Life Balance, Mom Guilt, Burnout, Resilience, Productivity · host Charlotte Haggie
What if the pressure you feel as a working mother isn’t just about how much you have to do but about how much of yourself you’ve left behind? In this episode, I sit down with performance coach, author, and founder of The Self Made Mom, Julia Sewell, to explore a powerful concept: noble self-abandonment. This is the idea that many women slowly remove themselves from their own lives in the name of being a “good” mother, partner, and professional, often without even realising it. We unpack how this pattern shows up, the impact it has on your family, your work, and your sense of identity, and what it looks like to begin the journey of self-making, rebuilding a life where you are no longer last on your own list. This is an honest and deeply affirming conversation about worth, identity, and what it really means to take your place back in your own life. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself while trying to be everything for everyone else, this episode is for you!
