Why Moms Feel Guilty About Rest | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A NoteBefore we talk about rest, we have to name why it feels so loaded in the first place.In this episode, Shannon explores the concept of sloth, not as laziness, but as something that became morally charged over time and why so many mothers feel caught between exhaustion and guilt. She reflects on overfunctioning as protection, the pressure to earn rest, and the often unspoken belief that worth is tied to output.This is an invitation to notice the rules we absorbed without realizing it and how they live in our bodies, our nervous systems, and our relationships.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.
