89. The Neuroscience Behind Mom Guilt with Kate Kripke

from The Well Nourished Mama · host Brooke Harmer

This week’s episode explores the neuroscience behind mom guilt and why so many high-achieving women find motherhood especially challenging. I’m joined by expert therapist Kate Kripke to unpack how early attachment styles influence your parenting, how to regulate your nervous system when motherhood feels overwhelming, and why “doing it all” often backfires. We also talk about how guilt, perfectionism, and nervous system dysregulation are deeply connected—and what to do about it. If you’ve ever wondered why motherhood feels harder than you expected or why guilt keeps showing up even when you're doing your best, this episode is for you. Click HERE for today’s shownotes.
