Mom guilt has shaped so many seasons of our motherhood journeys, but it does not hold the same power it once did. In this honest and reflective conversation, we look back on what used to weigh heavily on our hearts and compare it to the much shorter lists we carry today. From work-related guilt and feeling torn between responsibilities, to struggling to fully enjoy our kids while managing the chaos of daily life, we share the real-time challenges we are still navigating. We also open up about the pressure of meeting different needs within the same family and how growth, perspective, and practical shifts have helped us loosen guilt's grip. Our hope is that hearing where we have been and how far we have come helps you peel back a layer of guilt in your own motherhood story.Key Topics Covered:Amy's early fears about bonding, attachment, and whether her firstborn would recognize her after returning to work.The internal struggle around justifying time with friends during the early years of motherhood.Abby's vulnerable admission of questioning whether she was cut out for motherhood during a difficult phase.The specific work pressures that tend to trigger guilt in this current season.Navigating overlapping sports schedules and creating a fair system when multiple kids need to be in different places at once.Wanting meaningful one-on-one time with each child but feeling stretched thin.The emotional load of managing kids versus enjoying them.Parenting a spirited child whose needs require extra time and attention.Practical mindset shifts that have helped us move from shame toward self-compassion.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Listen to Episode 12.

If you've been feeling burnt out, emotionally exhausted, and quietly assuming that must mean you're failing… I want you to hear this clearly: You are not failing. You're capable. You're invested. You're doing a lot right. And if motherhood still feels heavy? That heaviness often shows up as guilt—guilt for being tired, guilt for wanting space, guilt for not enjoying every single moment the way you think you “should.” In this episode, I'm joined by Josh Davis, a cognitive behavioral psychologist, co-author of the USA Today bestseller The Difference That Makes the Difference, a master practitioner and trainer in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and founder of the Science-Based Leadership Institute. Josh teaches the science of how people actually change—not by trying harder, but by updating the beliefs and mental models driving our reactions. We dig into the specific beliefs that quietly fuel mom guilt and emotional exhaustion… and what shifts when you start updating them. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why moms default to “I'm failing” when they struggle—and how that belief fuels shame instead of change The NLP presupposition “There is no failure, only feedback” and how it instantly creates more options for what to do next Why you're not reacting to “reality”… you're reacting to your internal map of reality (and how that explains overwhelm) The powerful reminder: “The map is not the territory”—and how it helps you stop treating feelings like facts How to “earn the right to influence” your kids (or anyone) by understanding the reality where their behavior makes sense Why telling your kid “it's not a big deal” usually backfires—and what to do instead The belief “All the resources I need are already within me” and how it helps you stop outsourcing confidence to the next system, script, or strategy A practical mindset shift: treating change like an experiment instead of a life sentence How to define success in a way that's actually within your control—so you stop evaluating yourself with impossible standards Why incremental change is often the fastest way to create lasting transformation Why This Episode Matters So many overwhelmed moms don't need more discipline, more hustle, or another productivity hack. What you really need is to identify the beliefs running in the background—because when those beliefs go unseen, normal stress turns into shame. And shame is heavy. But once you can update the belief underneath it all, you don't have to “try harder” to feel better. You start responding differently because you're seeing the situation differently.

From the pressure to “get it right” to the constant second-guessing, so many of us carry quiet questions in motherhood: Am I doing enough? Am I messing this up? Am I a good mom? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Sara and Marissa sit down with author and podcast host Hallie Dye to talk honestly about the weight moms carry—and the freedom found in surrendering that weight to the One who never fails. Hallie shares the heart behind her first book, You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails, and unpacks what it really means to be “a good mom” from a biblical perspective. Together, they discuss why our limitations are by design, how surrender reshapes the way we approach our roles, and how to navigate the tension between responsibility and trust in God. Whether you're in the thick of diapers and sleepless nights or navigating new challenges with older kids, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your worth was never meant to be measured by your performance. You are still a good mom. -- Meet our guest: Hallie Dye Book: You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails  Podcast: The Saltworks -- Question of the Week: What is something you enjoy and want me to keep doing as your mom/dad? -- Hosts: Sara Jones & Marissa Ray Guest: Hallie Dye Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

In dieser Folge sprechen wir ehrlich über Mom Guilt und Zukunftsängste – und darüber, warum beides oft enger zusammenhängt, als wir denken. Warum fühlen wir uns schuldig, wenn wir einfach mal alleine sein wollen? Und warum bewerten wir uns heute schon für ein Morgen, das noch gar nicht passiert ist? Ein Girls-Talk über Druck, Erwartungen – und die Erlaubnis, nicht perfekt sein zu müssen.

I det här avsnittet pratar vi om något som många känner men få sätter ord på: mammaskuld.Hur kommer det sig att vi som mammor så lätt börjar ifrågasätta oss själva? Att vi känner ansvar för allt från våra barns hälsa till deras beteende, och samtidigt bär en konstant känsla av att inte riktigt räcka till?Vi dyker ner i hur de här kraven påminner om dietkulturen, där det alltid finns ett “bättre” sätt att göra saker på, och där vi lär oss att vi hela tiden behöver optimera oss själva. Samma mekanismer syns i föräldraskapet: pressen att vara den perfekta mamman, att göra rätt val, att hinna allt och samtidigt kanske känna sig pressad att gå ner i vikt och “ta hand om sig själv”.Men vad gör det här med oss?Vi pratar om hur mammaskuld kan leda till stress, känsloätande och överätande, inte för att det är något fel på dig, utan som en helt rimlig reaktion på en orimlig press. När kraven blir för höga är det lätt att söka tröst, paus eller kontroll genom mat.I avsnittet får du syn på hur de här mönstren hänger ihop, och varför du inte är ensam i att känna som du gör.Det här är ett ärligt, rått och igenkännande avsnitt om att vara människa i en vardag där kraven ofta är för många – och om att börja släppa taget om skulden, en liten bit i taget.Perfekt för dig som:– kämpar med känsloätande eller överätande– känner dig pressad att gå ner i vikt– ofta bär på mammaskuld eller känslan av att inte räcka till– vill hitta ett lugnare och mer hållbart sätt att förhålla dig till mat, kropp och föräldraskapEtt avsnitt för dig som är trött på att känna att du alltid borde vara lite bättre – och som längtar efter mer lugn, frihet och självmedkänsla.Gratis resurser att kickstarta Matfriheten: https://www.matfri.se/gratis-resurserKöp min bok här: https://peopleandstories.se/products/matfrihet-bli-fri-fran-halsoatning-och-matangest-med-intuitivt-atande Hosted on Acast.

What if exercise isn't for weight loss?In this episode of Becoming Thin, I sit down with a woman who lost 95 pounds… and didn't stop there. She went from feeling postpartum, overwhelmed, depressed, and nearly 240 pounds to completing 100-mile ultramarathons.But this is not an episode about running.It's about identity.We talk about what happens when you stop using exercise to punish your body and start using it to care for it. We unpack why running alone won't make you thin, why it often makes you hungrier, and how reframing movement can completely change your relationship with food.She shares how she went “cold turkey” into keto and intermittent fasting, lost 95 pounds in a year, then faced carb fear when she reintroduced balance for marathon training. She gained some weight back — and didn't panic. We discuss maintenance as awareness, not obsession, and thinking in seasons instead of days.We also dive into mom guilt, modeling strength for your kids, the fear of regaining weight, and the mindset required to walk through the “pain cave” — those moments when you want to quit.This episode is about learning to keep promises to yourself.It's about meeting yourself in hard moments.It's about realizing that wanting to quit isn't the crime — quitting is.If you've ever felt stuck, afraid of gaining it back, or unsure whether you're “that kind of person,” this conversation will help you think differently.And new thinking creates new results.Listen for the mindset.

Question: What belief about yourself had to die for your new life to begin?Starting over isn't cute. It's uncomfortable, humbling, and often misunderstood.In this episode, I'm sharing my real journey of starting over, from the moment my life shifted after divorce to stepping into a brand-new position now.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this article, Dana reveals the primary reason moms struggle to hit their goals: isolation. Despite being constantly surrounded by people, moms are silently battling guilt, self-doubt, and internal conflict about whether they're making the right choices. She introduces a powerful framework (Speak, Find, See, Hope, Reflect, Achieve) that breaks the cycle of isolation and cures mom guilt by getting you to say things out loud, find your circles of understanding, and realize you're not alone in your struggles. From learning how to receive without constantly proving your worth to understanding that wanting more doesn't make you selfish, Dana shows you how clarity and freedom come from breaking the silence. You don't need to have it all figured out, you just need to stop isolating yourself and start saying the things you've been keeping silent.

Kids & Family, Health & Fitness and Society & Culture - JoAnn Crohn - Mom Coach & Support for Overwhelmed Moms

HERself is officially six years old, and we can hardly believe it. In some ways the time has flown by, and in others, it feels like every lesson, challenge, and conversation has been earned. Podcasting is not easy, and most shows don't make it this far, which makes this milestone incredibly meaningful to both of us. This podcast has been such a special part of our lives, and we're just getting started.To celebrate six years, we're recreating one of our very first episodes by revisiting the questions we answered back then and sharing how we would respond today. Over the past six years, we've grown in our marriages, in motherhood, and as individuals, and this episode is an honest reflection of that evolution.We begin by revisiting the question: What is your biggest struggle in marriage? Abby shares that six years ago her answer was score-keeping, but today her biggest challenge is around apologizing. Amy reflects on how her biggest struggle used to be the constant time crunch while juggling a nursing job, multiple businesses, and motherhood to three young kids. While that season has eased, her current challenge is navigating moments when both she and Drew are low on patience.Next, we revisit guilt in motherhood. Amy shares that her guilt once came from always feeling mentally pulled in different directions, while Abby reflects on how bedtime routines were once her hardest moment. Today, Abby's guilt shows up during their busy nighttime family routines, as packed schedules often leave her wishing for more quality time with her kids.We then dive into the realities of being a working mom. Both of us share how difficult it is to find boundaries between work and family, especially when so much of our work overlaps with our personal lives. The struggle to protect time, avoid burnout, and not feel like we could always be working is still very real.We also open up about finances, reflecting on the debt we carried six years ago and the progress we've made since then. From there, we discuss body image and insecurities. Amy shares how she reached a place of true body confidence and developed a healthy relationship with food, while Abby reflects on navigating body dysmorphia during the early years of the podcast.Finally, we revisit the question of our proudest moments. Amy shares how her definition has shifted toward raising kind, thoughtful kids, while Abby laughs at her former answer and reflects on how much her perspective has changed.If we're lucky enough, we'll sit down and record this episode again when we're 46. Thank you for being part of this journey with us—for growing, reflecting, and evolving alongside HERself.

Dr. Saumya Dave, psychiatrist, mental health advocate, and author of the new novel The Guilt Pill, joins me this week for a conversation about the emotional load so many mothers carry that can shape our choices, our identity, and even how we see ourselves as parents.   Together we explore:   - The surprising truth that guilt isn't always bad and how to recognize when it's actually trying to tell you something important. - How cultural expectations and "good girl" conditioning quietly shape the way mothers judge themselves, often without realizing it. - What happens when we try to shut off difficult emotions, and why numbing guilt can create more challenges than it solves. - Why Dr. Saumya chose fiction to explore the emotional undercurrents of motherhood and how storytelling reveals truths we rarely say out loud. - What kids learn from the way we relate to guilt and how parents can model a healthier, more grounded approach. - Small shifts that can loosen guilt's grip and help you reconnect with the messy, joyful moments right in front of you.   If you've ever felt weighed down by the pressure to be a "perfect" parent, struggled with the inner critic that tells you you're not doing enough, or simply want a deeper understanding of where mom guilt comes from and how to soften its impact, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and tools to support your emotional wellbeing.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Find them on Instagram, Facebook, and their website! This week, Jill brings back one of the most downloaded episodes in the history of the show, episode 15 titled "Bad Mutha" from 2020, long before she really had any idea what this podcast would become. She shares how she didn't reread or rework it and how that is honestly part of the point. She was overwhelmed, anxious, and convinced that she was screwing everything up as a mom, but now, five years later, after a whole lot of therapy, journaling, and soul-searching, she has realized that the guilt that she felt then is the same guilt so many of us are still carrying now. In this replay episode, you will hear Jill wrestle with the old stories that she used to tell herself such as the story that she was a bad mom, that every mistake was permanent, that other mothers were doing it "right" while she was just keeping her head above water. You'll also hear the moments that still tug at her heart such as the night that she chose a spotless kitchen over watching a Star Wars movie with her daughter, memories that she has replayed endlessly as if punishing herself could rewrite them. However, this episode is about naming what's actually underneath mom guilt: perfectionism, comparison, and the old wounds which we drag into adulthood without even realizing it. It's about understanding why we cling to the belief that we're failing, even when the evidence says otherwise, and it is, of course, about the uncomfortable truth that guilt doesn't make us better mothers; it only teaches our kids to carry the same shame that we're trying to outrun. Jill encourages listeners to remember that every parent has their private struggles, no matter how shiny their family looks from the outside. Every child grows through their own challenges, and every mother, whether she believes it or not, is doing the absolute best she can with the tools that she has, so if mom guilt has been background noise for you or if you're ready to let go of the impossible standards that have followed you for years, this revisited episode will meet you exactly where you are! Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

Mom guilt shows up constantly - over how we react, what we forget, the ways we fall short. But here's the truth: mom guilt is not just part of motherhood — that's spiritual warfare, and the enemy wants you stuck in guilt so you won't enjoy your kids. I'm sharing a story from my own motherhood that left me drowning in guilt for days. But through it, I discovered how faith brings real freedom from that constant weight. Here's what I want you to know: that guilt you're carrying? Jesus already removed it on the cross. We're going to talk about accepting God's forgiveness, forgiving yourself, and renewing your mind with truth instead of spiraling in lies. I'm also sharing a surprising story from Scripture about motherhood that's exactly what we need to hear when guilt overwhelms us. We can't be everywhere watching everything, but God can. When we partner with Him in prayer, we get to release that burden. You're doing a fantastic job, mama. It's time to tell guilt to go - because faith brings freedom.

Working mom guilt? Yep, it's very real. Dr. Sarah Allen joins me to unpack where that guilt comes from, how to navigate it, and ways to feel more confident in whatever choices work best for your family.

Today's episode looks a little different—Abby is solo behind the mic to share something that's been weighing on her heart: the tug-of-war between loving motherhood and missing freedom.Freedom has always been one of Abby's top core values, but motherhood changes everything. Overnight, the spontaneity disappears, replaced by structure, schedules, and responsibility. As much as we love our children, there's this deep ache for autonomy—time to just be without worrying about what someone else needs next.In this raw and relatable conversation, Abby shares real-life reframes and practical strategies for moms who feel like they've lost themselves in motherhood. She opens up about the moments when she wonders, “How did I even get here?” and how she's learning to shift her focus from what's been lost to what's been gained.From navigating kids' sports schedules to redefining productivity, Abby brings honesty, humor, and heart to this discussion. She reminds us that while this season can feel long and heavy, it's also fleeting—and filled with growth, love, and unexpected joy.LINKS AND RESOURCES:FORAGE KITCHEN: Check out your nearest - https://www.eatforage.com/HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastLet's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
