In this episode, you'll learn the crucial difference between helpful guilt and unhelpful guilt, and we explore a practical framework for recognizing guilt, assessing whether it serves you, and learning how to respond with wisdom instead of reactivity. This episode offers both emergency tools for overwhelming moments and lasting strategies for breaking free from the guilt cycle that steals your peace and presence. Take a listen- I think you'll walk away knowing that you don't have to feel guilty to be a good mom—If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Women's happiness has been in decline since the 1970's despite increased freedoms and opportunities, says Dr Giselle Goodwin. I've you've ever felt burnout out and the sense that you're somehow failing at being a woman and a mother you'll have a sense of it happening, but you may feel guilty, particularly given the opportunities we've been given compared with what our own mothers had. She says that when women were told we could have it all, it seems what we really heard was we must do it all. It's been dubbed The Female Paradox and in this episode Dr Goodwin shares her personal struggles balancing career and motherhood. She talks us through how societal expectations haven't really changed, even while women are expected to go out to work, resulting in what's been dubbed the "second shift" of domestic responsibilities. We also explore the Paula Principle, where women often take jobs below their skill level for flexibility to fit in with home life, contrasting it with the Peter Principle where men are promoted above their competence. In spite of the problems, Giselle emphasizes it's vital for women to be in high-level roles for societal representation and equity and the real work needs to be done in discussions about how we divide up the mental and physical labour of or lives.She advises young people to view their careers as a portfolio, adapting to life's seasons, and encourages midlife reassessment.Dr Giselle Goodwin: https://gisellegoodwin.com/BOOK: Can Women Really Have it All?: A Happiness Handbook for Working Mothers Research shows that working mothers experience up to 40% more stress and that women's happiness has been declining since the 1970s. How do we fix this? Backed by compelling research and packed with actionable suggestions, this groundbreaking book answers the burning questions of working mothers today:Why do so many mothers feel chronically guilty?What actions can women take to improve their own happiness?What changes do we need from society to improve women's lives?Does working outside the home make mothers happier?Is part-time work the answer, or does it bring its own problems?What advice should we give to our children?Support the showThank you so much for your support.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Lilit, an esteemed clinical psychologist specializing in maternal mental health, helping working mothers navigate the emotional shifts of postpartum and career transitions. She has been featured in Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, and other top outlets, and has appeared on Everything is the Best. While I'm not a mom yet and haven't experienced this myself….I hope to be soon and am conscious about what an intense (yet wonderful) shift entering motherhood can be. I've had so many conversations with friends, colleagues and my mom about how challenging it can be to navigate motherhood, the unique pressures that are placed on women, and how your identity starts to shift. Dr. Lillit and I talk about the messy and beautiful transition into this new role—how it can feel overwhelming, emotional, and like no one really prepares you for it. Dr. Lillit shares her own experiences navigating postpartum, how she supports her clients through the guilt, chaos, and wonders of motherhood, and why knowing yourself is the foundation for everything. Why the transition to motherhood often feels messy and chaotic The delicate balance of being the “best mom” and still investing in yourself What working moms are really struggling with (hint: it's not just time) The power of inner work—and how to begin, even if you already have kids How to build an intentional support system and village The realities of “mom guilt,” identity loss, and people-pleasing in parenting Ways partners can better support new moms (that don't involve fixing) How to redefine balance, presence, and what “having it all” actually means What I loved most about this conversation was the emphasis she places on intentional inner work, awareness, really knowing yourself so you can show up as your best self for your family. Whether you're preparing for motherhood, in the thick of postpartum, have older children or are supporting someone who is, this episode brings light to the emotional, mental, and societal pressures moms navigate every day.

During a conversation at The Reparations Club, I spoke to Victoria Monét about her debut children's book, motherhood, and chasing her dreams. Victoria discussed the difficult moments of separation that inspired “Everywhere You Are.” From her daughter's stay in the NICU to her first day of school, Victoria realized there wasn't a market for explaining similar periods of distance to children. She drew on her incredible songwriting ability and childhood memories of living in a starlit neighborhood to write the book she and her daughter needed. The pair collaborated on this project, much like their Grammy nominated “Hollywood.”Victoria explained how she ensures that her daughter feels loved despite her busy schedule. She shared their routine with us, which includes listening to calming frequencies and learning positive affirmations. Hazel has repeated these affirmations outside of Victoria's presence, so she is confident that these reminders are taking root. Our discussion revealed Victoria's deep commitment to fostering Hazel's sense of independence. She hopes that by communicating the importance of traveling to chase her dreams, Hazel will be inspired to chase hers with confidence.Tune in as we discuss:How she prepares Hazel before she is away on tourWhy chasing her dreams is good for her and her family Tips for dealing with mom guiltHow her career aspirations changed with motherhoodThe wellness habits that help her unwind when she's homePurchase Victoria's book from Reparations ClubRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

Send us a textWhat if you could love your children deeply while admitting you don't always love the phase of parenting you're currently experiencing? This refreshingly honest conversation between Dr. Beth Trammell and maternal mental health specialist Megan MacCutcheon dismantles one of the most pervasive myths of motherhood: that we must cherish and enjoy every moment.The episode begins with Megan sharing a revealing Mother's Day experience where she found herself struggling with her elementary school-aged children's behavior, only to later visit her sister and feel nostalgic for the toddler phase she once navigated. This moment of recognition sparked an important realization—different seasons of motherhood naturally resonate differently with us, and that's perfectly normal.Throughout their discussion, both experts share personal struggles with specific parenting phases while offering practical strategies for managing the more challenging seasons. From the importance of nervous system regulation through simple breathing exercises to creating intentional transitions between work and home life, they provide accessible tools that don't feel like "one more thing" on an already overwhelming to-do list.Perhaps most valuable is their exploration of the harmful impact of common phrases like "you're going to miss this" or "enjoy every moment," which, while well-intentioned, often intensify feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Instead, they advocate for a more nuanced perspective that allows for the complexity of parenting emotions—the ability to deeply love your children while simultaneously finding certain phases genuinely difficult.Whether you're currently in a parenting season that feels overwhelming or simply need permission to acknowledge the full spectrum of your motherhood experience, this episode offers both validation and practical wisdom.

Come for the insight, stay for Curt's ADHD moments, and let us know if you have either mom or dad guilt, or maybe no guilty feelings at all.

I'm joined by expert therapist Kate Kripke to unpack how early attachment styles influence your parenting, how to regulate your nervous system when motherhood feels overwhelming, and why “doing it all” often backfires. We also talk about how guilt, perfectionism, and nervous system dysregulation are deeply connected—and what to do about it. If you've ever wondered why motherhood feels harder than you expected or why guilt keeps showing up even when you're doing your best, this episode is for you. Click HERE for today's shownotes.
One of the hardest moments I (Joanna) can remember as a mom is when our six-year-old daughter refused, to the point of tears, to wear her blue pants with a butterfly on the pocket. Thinking she was just being stubborn, I refused to back down—and it wasn't until two hours later that I finally gave up on trying to convince her.Well, a few months later, I learned that our daughter has a significant sensory processing disorder. Those pants that I was so determined for her to wear were actually causing her very real physical pain. In my determination to prove my authority, I was not just hurting my daughter's spirit, but her body as well.This is just one of countless examples I could give of how we can parent with the best intentions but still make mistakes. When this happens, shame can wash over us, polarizing our relationships and overwhelming us with despair. If you are struggling with guilt and shame today, I am so happy to be able to introduce you to this episode's guest, Jodi Jackson Tucker.Jodi is a biological, foster, and adoptive mother to eight children with her husband, Jerry. She is a sought-after speaker, ministry leader, and the author of Healing for Every Heart in Adoption. Jodi knows what it's like to battle and overcome feelings of guilt or thoughts that she is simply not enough.In this episode, Jodi shares:How false beliefs can shake our confidenceThe role of prayer in our parentingA mom's truest job descriptionAnd much more!Mom guilt is something every woman will experience at some point in her parenting journey. I hope Jodi's insights will encourage and help you navigate those feelings. Enjoy!Show Notes: growinghometogether.com/jodi-jackson-tucker-111
Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
Timmere and Catholic parenting coach Catherine Johnson just hit it out of the park with this episode of Trending. If you’re a Catholic mom (or know one!) feeling like you’re barely holding it together, this conversation will feel like a giant, grace-filled exhale. You can listen to the entire episode here! "Catholic mom guilt" is that feeling of never doing enough, especially when we’re comparing ourselves to other moms. But here’s the thing: a lot of us don’t even realize we’re carrying this guilt until it’s quietly wrecking our peace. It’s sneaky. Like spiritual glitter. Compare & Despair: The Catholic Edition Ever see another mom totally crushing it and then suddenly find yourself spiraling into thoughts like: "I don’t pray enough." "My kids don’t know the St. Michael Prayer by heart!" "I forgot to make Zeppole for St. Joseph’s Day... again." You’re probably not called to 6am Angelus with toddlers if you’re 39 weeks pregnant and haven’t slept. And that’s okay. Guilt vs. Conviction: How to Tell the Difference Timmere and Catherine get into a super helpful distinction: Healthy guilt = the Holy Spirit nudging you toward holiness, like "you snapped at your kids, go apologize and confess." Toxic guilt = inner condemnation, "You’re the worst Catholic mom ever, how dare you skip that novena?" If your inner voice sounds more like a bully than Jesus, it’s not from God. When Mom Guilt Turns into Mom Condemnation Another nugget: If you catch yourself being a little judgy toward the moms who are “doing all the things” ... that might actually be your own mom guilt, just wearing a mask. Time to flip the script and get curious: What is it about that other mom’s life that’s triggering something in me? Is it something I admire but am not ready for? Or something that’s just... not my calling? Authenticity Over Perfection Timmere reminds us: your domestic church doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s.Take the things that inspire you and make them your own. Some moms wake up their kids with a bell and pray the Angelus. That’s beautiful. Others pray a morning Hail Mary while surviving the cereal chaos. Also, beautiful. And that “perfect mom” you see on social media? She’s struggling too. Promise. Timmere admitted to losing her patience recently; she apologized to her kids, and later her 4-year-old apologized back. Modeling mercy is one of the most powerful ways we can teach the faith. Let them see you mess up. Let them see you get back up. Practical Takeaways for Catholic Moms Catherine shares two golden nuggets: Learn how the Lord speaks to you: When you can tell His voice from the world’s noise, parenting becomes way more peaceful. Learn to receive mercy: God is gentler with you than you are. Let that sink in. And finally: instead of chasing someone else’s Catholic parenting blueprint, ask: “Lord, how do YOU want me to raise these little saints?” You're Not Called to Be Her. You're Called to Be YOU. This episode was a giant permission slip to drop the guilt, laugh a little, and lean into the grace. You're doing better than you think.

Mom guilt is such a huge challenge for so many new moms. In this episode, I'm joined by Alysia Lyons, mom, author, and coach, to talk about mom guilt. We talk about how mom guilt is a notification that your actions are out of alignment with your values, and how self-compassion is essential when looking back at past actions. We then unpack how that shows up in responsive parents and attachment based sleep including guilt about what ‘good' sleep is supposed to look like and what a ‘good mom' is supposed to do. We explore the idea of self-trust verses outside opinions, especially those opinions coming from people with more cultural authority. Alysia shares one of her own mom guilt stories with us, and I'll put a gentle content warning here for mention of childhood inappropriate touch by another child – I know this can be a triggering topic for some.
