Mothers Need Love and Compassion Too: Self-Care, Support, and Releasing Mom Guilt | Tammy Powder

What happens when mothers spend so much time caring for everyone else that they forget to care for themselves? In this episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha speaks with Tammy Powder about motherhood, self-care, asking for help, shame, compassion, and why caring for yourself can strengthen the people you love.✅ Why mothers often put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own✅ The “red juice” analogy and how accumulated stress can eventually spill over onto everyone around you✅ Why asking for help can feel like failure and how mothers can begin to see support differently✅ The “ladder” analogy for supporting loved ones without trying to climb the ladder for them✅ How connection, listening, and simply being a light can help mothers feel less isolated✅ Why mothers should stop viewing their entire past through the small “rearview mirror” of their mistakes✅ How self-forgiveness and compassion can help ease guilt and create room to do better✅ The powerful reminder that every mother is doing motherhood for the first time and deserves the same compassion she gives to othersYou told us links get buried, and we heard you.
