Why Christian Moms Feel Guilty Taking Care of Themselves - EPS 101

from The Mom Self-Care Podcast · host Chari Twitty-Hawkins

Sometimes the hardest part of self-care isn't finding the time. It's overcoming the mom guilt we feel. As Christian moms, many of us know we need rest. We know we need boundaries. We know we need to take care of ourselves. Yet the moment we try, we feel guilty. We wonder if we're being selfish. We feel like we should be doing something else. We ignore our needs again. In this episode of The Mom Self-Care Podcast, I'm joined by Kisha "Coach K" Simmons, Certified Christian Counselor, Confidence Coach, and Soul Care Strategist, for a conversation about why so many Christian moms struggle with guilt when it comes to taking care of themselves. We talked about where that guilt comes from, how it affects us emotionally and spiritually, and why caring for yourself is an important part of stewardship. We discussed: 💜 Why Christian moms often feel guilty taking care of themselves. 💜 Where that guilt comes from and why it feels so strong. 💜 Why many moms struggle to separate who they are from what they do for others. 💜 Simple encouragement for moms who are learning to care for themselves without shame. If you've ever felt bad for resting, setting boundaries, or making yourself a priority, this conversation will encourage you and remind you that taking care of yourself matters too.
