from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking time to write, this episode is for you.We’re unpacking why writing can feel “selfish” for moms, and why it’s actually one of the most generous things you can do -- for yourself & your family. I’ll share what happened when I felt mom guilt during a writing retreat, how I reframed writing as care instead of indulgence, and simple ways to start writing again without the guilt overpowering you.Your stories matter, and making time for them isn’t taking away from your family. It’s showing up more fully for them.Join my November 8 workshop: Finally Write Your Novel: Build a Creative Practice That Sticks (Even as a Busy Mom!)And if you want help building a writing practice that fits your life, book a free consultation at https://calendly.com/joseesmith/book.
