Episode 34: Mom Guilt Never Takes a Vacation: Finding Relief (and Rhythm) When the Kids Go Back to School

from Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All With Nikki · host Nikki Wallace

This summer was packed with travel, memories, and chaos and as much as I loved it, I have to admit… I felt a huge sense of relief when my kids went back to school. And then? The mom guilt hit. If you’ve ever felt torn between loving every moment with your kids and craving the structure that school and routines bring, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of our summer travels, the guilt that comes with wanting space, and the powerful mindset shift that helped me reframe guilt as balance. Because the truth is...our kids don’t just need us present, they need us whole. And sometimes that means celebrating the rhythm, peace, and productivity that comes when school is back in session. 💡 If you’ve ever wrestled with summer mom guilt, back-to-school transitions, or balancing motherhood with your own needs, this episode will help you breathe, release the pressure, and remember: you’re not selfish...you’re human.
