With Mother's Day this coming Sunday I wanted to discuss something that all mom's battle with at some point: mom guilt. Beyond that, Mother's Day is a topic in general that many women are sensitive to for a variety of reasons. Abusive mothers, never having children or struggling with fertility, and not feeling appreciated by the children you do have. So let's dive into this and discuss what's really going on, why it's such a big deal, and how to let it all go. (This episode isn't just for women. It's for men too! The same things will still apply in a lot of ways, so please don't skip this one just because of the topic material.)
