Ep 25 - Why Can’t I Believe I’m a Good Mom?

from Mama Outspoken Podcast · host Mama Outspoken

In this heartfelt episode, Jill and Bobby dive deep into a question that so many new parents ask themselves but are often too afraid to say out loud: What if I don’t feel like a good mom? Through a vulnerable conversation sparked by an emotional clip from Jill's book Mama Outspoken, they explore the tangled web of postpartum doubt, healing, and the moments that finally make us believe we’re doing okay—even when it doesn't feel like it. This is an honest look at the emotional toll of early motherhood, the power of a single captured moment, and the grace we must offer ourselves in the process. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why “being a good mom” often doesn’t feel like enough in the moment How postpartum depression and anxiety distort your view of your parenting The unexpected power of one candid photo to shift your perspective How healing and self-care can help you reclaim your worth as a parent The role of boundaries and rest in redefining what good parenting looks like Why outside validation isn’t always enough—and what finally makes it click The ongoing nature of parenting self-doubt and how to meet it with compassion If you've ever questioned your worth as a parent or struggled to see yourself through the loving lens others see you through, this episode is for you. Your struggles don’t disqualify you from being a good mom—they make your love even more powerful. Let this conversation be your reminder that you’re not alone in the doubt and that you're more than enough, even on the hard days.
