Ep 40: Mom Guilt Isn’t Always the Truth | Healing Trauma, Guilt, and the Nervous System in Motherhood

Mom guilt has followed me through so many moments of motherhood. It shows up when I rest, when I set boundaries, when I enjoy my life, and when I admit that motherhood can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about why mom guilt is not always the truth. Often, it is a nervous system response rooted in childhood trauma, survival patterns, and the waysmany of us learned to earn love through self-sacrifice.⟡QUOTE OF THE EPISODE“Needing rest doesn’t make you a bad mom.
