The night before our France trip, unexpected travel anxiety and mom guilt hit me hard - and then our flight was canceled! I'm unpacking what it felt like to leave the kids during a very busy week, plus the much happier story of my first airport lounge experience. Spoiler: I'm officially ruined.If you'd like to share about your trip on the podcast, email me at: kelsey@triptalespodcast.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879Mentioned in this episode:- Chablis- Chateau de la Resle- Capital One Lounge JFK- Air France Lounge- TWA Hotel and Airplane Louge
Can I just say something that I think a lot of us need to hear right now?You are not failing at your business because summer looks different. Summer is supposed to look different
We're going to get intimate today and who I typically speak to will be a little different today. I have coached women from the floor of my own life. I have presented on stages, sat across from hundreds of clients in person and online, and have shown up as the strong one, the leader, the one with all the answers. Even on the very mornings I felt like a shell of the driven, ambitious, sure of herself woman I knew I was. I've lifted other people up while I was the one on the ground. And if you are a mom listening today, you already know exactly what that is. You can relate because you do a version of it every single day. You show up. You are present for your kids, your partner, your work. While underneath it all you feel like there is almost nothing left of you. Let me tell you about why I can sit in this right beside you. Twenty six years working with women's health and their bodies. Ten years competing as an IFBB pro. And right now, at almost forty six years old, I am walking through perimenopause myself with nearly four years of hormone support behind me. So nothing I say today comes from a textbook or from some far off shore I have never stood on. I want this episode to be a resource for the partner who loves their significant other unconditionally but is navigating the ups and downs of perimenopause with them and isn't sure what to do. I will tell you what me and my husband have gone through when it comes to this and remind you that it isn't selfish for her to take care of herself and what that looks like.

This is an encore episode of 'Behind The Table' — new episodes return Monday, July 6. Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to break down what could be done to stop Trump's anti‑weaponization fund—and why she believes it could ultimately be challenged and blocked in the courts. She reflects on the end of an era with Stephen Colbert and explains why his cancellation may actually prove his influence is stronger than ever. Alyssa also discusses why it's possible to support certain policies, like Trump Rx, while still being a vocal critic of President Trump, saying, “I don't want Americans to keep hurting just to stick it to Donald Trump.” The conversation turns personal as Alyssa opens up about the mom guilt she experiences as a working mother and wraps with her evolving take on the ongoing 'Summer House' drama.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly falling short as a mom? Maybe you spend time with your children, yet instead of enjoying the moment, you're replaying what you should have done differently. You wonder if you're patient enough, present enough, or simply doing enough. If you've been carrying the weight of mom guilt, this episode is for you. In today's episode, we're looking beneath the surface of mom guilt through a biblical lens. Instead of simply asking how to get rid of guilt, we'll explore what it may be revealing about our hearts and how the gospel invites us to walk in freedom rather than condemnation. If you're a working Christian mom longing to experience greater peace, trust God more deeply in your parenting, and stop living under constant self-evaluation, I pray this conversation encourages you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why mom guilt isn't always what it seems. The difference between biblical conviction and self-condemnation. How fear and the desire for control can quietly shape our parenting. Why learning to trust God helps us become more present with our children. How the gospel frees us from carrying burdens God never intended us to bear. Ready for more personalized support? If you're navigating parenting challenges, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, overwhelm, or simply desire someone to walk alongside you through God's Word, Faith Led Ministries now offers biblical counseling sessions alongside life coaching. Biblical counseling is designed to help you examine life's struggles through the truth of Scripture, offering Christ-centered encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical application for everyday life.

Full disclosure: I recorded this episode the night before it goes live because, well, life happened. One of my kids came home sick, my focus was fried, and I had to make real-time decisions about rescheduling and protecting my boundaries. Then I found a second curveball: someone booked on a day I'm off (because I hadn't updated my calendar). In this episode, I walk you through how I coached myself through it so you can borrow the mindset shifts and the practical strategies the next time your schedule blows up. What You'll Learn:How I stay considerate and professional without apologizing for being a parent and business ownerA simple reframe I use (The circumstance is neutral, the meaning I attach is optional.)Why rescheduling takes serious executive function (decision-making, working memory, planning, prioritizing)How I reduce the cognitive load when I have to reschedule (especially on low-focus days)What I do when systems and scheduling tools fail—and how I use that failure as useful data Why systems can support boundaries, but can't replace your responsibility to set/hold/communicate themKey Takeaways:You can apologize for short notice or inconvenience without apologizing for your boundariesA scheduling mishap isn't proof you're scattered, it's information you can use to adjust your systemIf rescheduling feels hard, maybe that's because it is hard. But it can get easier. To find out how I can help you improve your work-life balance, click here.

In this video, Brandy shares powerful insights for self-healing, and personal empowerment! Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Free Mind-body Healing training deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/mind-body-training Many mothers spend so much time caring for everyone else that they forget to care for themselves. Over time, feelings of guilt, pressure, and self-sacrifice can become deeply ingrained emotional patterns that impact happiness, energy, and overall well-being. In this heartfelt episode, Brandy explores the hidden pattern of mom guilt and why it often continues long after children grow older or leave home. She explains how subconscious beliefs around self-sacrifice can keep mothers feeling stretched thin, exhausted, and never quite "enough," even when they are doing so much for the people they love. You'll discover practical ways to begin breaking free from guilt, including a powerful reframe that transforms self-care into "role model time," helping you prioritize your own well-being without feeling selfish. Brandy also shares how to recognize the emotional patterns that keep guilt in place and offers a simple yet meaningful way to communicate with your children that can create more connection while supporting healthier boundaries. This episode is a loving reminder that being a wonderful mother does not require constant sacrifice, exhaustion, or guilt. When you feel grounded, supported, confident, and loving toward yourself, that positive energy naturally benefits the people around you as well. -- Important Note: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a replacement for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

We dig into what her PhD research actually found, why women disappear from themselves for decades only to rediscover who they are in midlife, and how the way we define our identity versus our role shapes everything from our fitness journey to how we age. What we explore: - How Dr. Nafshi's 30 years of putting herself last became the catalyst for her research on maternal guilt. - What the "third shift" is and why athletic moms carry a burden that does not exist in research on fathers. - What the SHERO framework is and how it builds a trainable mindset for aging with power. - Why consistency over intensity is the most practical shift for women who struggle to show up for themselves. - How an Ironman race strategy for staying present applies to managing anxiety and mom guilt in everyday life.

In this episode, I'm opening up about a struggle I rarely talk about publicly: the mom guilt that comes with building a business during a demanding season. I share what it really looks like to leave the house before my kids are up and not return until dinner, and the spiral of questions that hits at night – am I gone too much, will I regret this, what will my kids remember? Rather than brushing the guilt aside, I explore why I've come to see it as a signal worth paying attention to, not a problem to silence. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about ambition, presence, and the reality that you can have it all without it ever feeling balanced. If you're a parent chasing something big, this episode will make you feel seen.

In dieser Folge spricht Nora mit Alina Friederichs über Körperbilder, Selbstwert, Mutterschaft und die emotionale Reise hinter ihrer großen Gewichtsabnahme. Alina erzählt ehrlich von ihrem Leben als „Bad Mom“ im Internet, ihrer Erfahrung mit der Abnehmspritze, emotionalem Essen, Therapie und dem Gefühl, plötzlich nicht mehr zu wissen, wer man eigentlich ist, wenn sich der eigene Körper so stark verändert. Es geht um gesellschaftliche Schönheitsideale, alte Glaubenssätze, Familienmuster, Hate im Netz, Mom-Guilt – und darum, warum Heilung oft viel tiefer geht als reine Gewichtsabnahme. Gleichzeitig ist die Folge unglaublich lustig, warm und nahbar. Zwischen Kotzgeschichten, Spaßgläsern und Reformer-Pilates-Angst wird klar: Wir tragen alle mehr mit uns herum, als man von außen sieht. Eine ehrliche Folge über Veränderung, Identität und die Frage: Wer bin ich eigentlich, wenn ich mich nicht mehr verstecke?

What if the guilt you've been carrying as a working mom isn't proof that you're failing... but a signal that you're unclear on what matters most? In this episode, I challenge the idea that mom guilt is just part of the job description and share why guilt often points to a lack of clarity around priorities, balance, and success. Through real client stories and practical examples, you'll learn how defining what truly matters to you can reduce guilt, increase confidence, and help you feel more in control of your life as a working mom. In this episode, we unpack: Why mom guilt is often a clarity problem, not a parenting problem The hidden connection between guilt and your beliefs about "having it all" How defining your version of balance changes daily decision-making Allison's story of moving from chronic guilt to confidence and calm Practical ways to feel empowered instead of constantly second-guessing yourself Work with me:Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book a Work-Life Balance Strategy Call: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced-call Book Your Mental Load Reset Call Here (with free Quiz!): www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/strategy Links and References:Listen to Kelly's story: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/279 Listen to Allison's story:www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/280

Hoppe Hoppe Scheitern - Der Eltern Real Talk mit Evelyn Weigert
Evelyn trifft Rose – dreifache Mama, Cancer Survivor, heute Elternberaterin mit klarem Fokus: Gewaltfreie Kommunikation im echten Leben. Rose hat eine Brustkrebserkrankung hinter sich, die alles auf den Kopf gestellt hat. In dieser Folge geht's aber vor allem darum, was sie daraus für sich mitgenommen hat – und wie sehr sich ihr Blick auf Kommunikation, Bedürfnisse, Beziehungen und Selbstfürsorge verändert hat. Rose sagt: Kinder machen nichts gegen uns, sondern für sich. Hinter jedem Verhalten steckt ein Bedürfnis. Wie schaffen wir es, alte Reiz-Reaktionsmuster loszulassen und so zu reagieren, wie wir es uns eigentlich für unsere Kids wünschen? Und was hat das Ganze mit unserer eigenen Kindheit zu tun? Es geht um Haltung statt perfekter Sätze, ums Nervensystem und um Mom Guilt. Plus: Warum das dritte Eis kein Bedürfnis ist, sondern ein Wunsch… Eine sehr persönliche und intensive Folge, die Mut in vielerlei Hinsicht macht! Viel Freude! Mehr zu Rose?

This is the one we saved for last. After two raw, honest, grace-filled episodes on the parts of motherhood nobody talks about — we brought the whole Women Soaring team together for this final motherhood episode. Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa. All four of us. All in. Because we believed the most honest conversation deserved the most voices around the table.In this final episode of the motherhood portion of our mini-series Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, we go straight into the question nobody wants to answer out loud: Have you ever looked at your children and felt like you had absolutely nothing left to give?And we answer it. Honestly. Without the performance. Without the pretending. Just four moms who have been in the thick of it — three kids in diapers, 5pm with nothing eaten, the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix — talking about what actually got them through.In this episode we talk about:What it actually feels like to have nothing left — and what to do in that momentThree kids in diapers, non-stop days, and the survival mode nobody prepares you forWhy "God will never give you more than you can handle" is NOT in the Bible — and what He actually does insteadElisabeth Elliott's "do the next thing" — the only strategy that works when the whole day feels impossibleThe sanctifying power of being given more than you can handleHow to rely on God's strength when your own is completely goneThe mom job description nobody signed up for — but billions of women are living every single dayFinding your community even when it doesn't look like what you expectedWhat happens when you show up anyway — and God meets you thereThe closing prayer over every mom listening who is running on empty right nowScripture anchors:Lamentations 3:22-23 — "His mercies are new every morning."2 Corinthians 12:9 — "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."This episode ends with a prayer over you. Over the mom who is barely holding on. Over the mom who hasn't eaten since breakfast. Over the mom who just needs someone to see her today. We see you. God sees you. And His mercies are new tomorrow.
Dr. Simone shares a reflective episode from Copenhagen about enjoying family time while navigating persistent mom guilt. She talks candidly about the tension that can arise with partners, the relief of moments when someone else cares for you (like a hairdresser appointment), and the struggle many mothers face to carve out personal time. She encourages mothers to be bold about claiming me-time, explaining that self-care is essential to restore energy and be able to give to others.

Some days, motherhood feels deeply meaningful. Other days, it feels like wiping counters, making lunches, repeating yourself for the hundredth time, and wondering if any of it really matters. If you’ve ever gone to bed thinking, “I’ll do better tomorrow,” this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of talking with bestselling author and speaker Rhonda Stoppe about her new book, Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful. Together, we talked honestly about mom guilt, comparison, prodigals, spiritual motherhood, God’s grace, and the sacred significance of everyday faithfulness. I especially loved how she reminded us that the women of Scripture were real women—fearless at times, flawed at times, but always deeply loved and used by God. Their stories remind us that God doesn’t require perfection from us as mothers. He simply asks for willing hearts surrendered to Him. In this episode, we discuss:• How God uses imperfect mothers• The danger of comparison and control• Why spiritual motherhood matters• What to do with regret and mom guilt• The quiet significance of ordinary faithfulness• How loving God first shapes the way we love our families Rhonda also shares beautiful encouragement for weary moms and reminds us that the greatest thing our children can witness is not perfection—but a mother who genuinely loves Jesus. Whether you’re parenting little ones, teenagers, adult children, or simply pouring into the next generation spiritually, I think this conversation will encourage your heart.

I sat down with Dr. Iram Ahmad clinical psychologist for a raw and eye-opening conversation about the questions we're all quietly typing into Google at 2am. We break down the real difference between depression and a rough patch, what anxiety is actually trying to tell you, why "snapping out of it" is harder than it sounds, and how high-achieving women and moms are quietly burning out under the pressure of doing it all. We also get into radical acceptance, the mom guilt spiral, decision fatigue, and what actually shifts when people start healing. This one is equal parts validating and practical.

Do you constantly feel like you're falling short as a mom? Maybe you lose your patience… yell more than you want to… feel overwhelmed all the time… or carry this constant pressure to “do better.” And even when you are growing… you still can't seem to stop beating yourself up. If that's you, this conversation is for you. In today's episode, I'm joined by Alexandra Jensen—wife, mom of three, author, and Christian writer—for a powerful conversation about mom guilt, perfectionism, receiving God's grace, and learning how to extend that grace to ourselves. Because so many of us are living under the weight of: “I should be doing more.” “I should be handling this better.” “I should be enough.” But underneath all of that striving… are lies about our worth, identity, and what God actually says about us. In this conversation, we unpack: ✨ Why moms struggle so deeply with guilt and perfectionism ✨ How refusing grace for yourself impacts your marriage and kids ✨ The connection between control, anxiety, and perfectionism ✨ Why accepting help is actually an act of humility ✨ The difference between God's grace vs. the world's version of “self-care” ✨ How to recognize when you're running on empty emotionally and spiritually ✨ Why slowing down and connecting with God changes everything ✨ The importance of feeling your feelings instead of stuffing them down We also talk about practical ways to reconnect with God in busy motherhood—including Alexandra's beautiful idea of “pickup prayers” while cleaning the house. If you've been stuck in shame, mom guilt, overwhelm, anxiety, or the pressure to hold everything together… this episode will remind you that God's grace is bigger than your shortcomings.

Laurie spent years wrestling with the question: Can I be ambitious and a great mom? They explore:Why asking for support isn't weakness—it's healthy modeling for your childrenHow to confront the narrative that "I'm the mom so I should do it all"Why intentionality matters more than perfection when juggling multiple rolesLaurie struggled to write her book for years until her husband said, "Just go away a few nights a month and work on it." She couldn't believe he was offering. Her internal narrative was screaming: I'm the mom, I'm the person who should be doing these things. But she did it anyway, finished the book, and is still doing the work of believing she doesn't have to do it all alone.This is a conversation about leaning into support and remembering that being ambitious doesn't come at the expense of being a great mom.Connect with Laurie:Website: LaurieMaddalena.comGet her book, The Elevated Leader: https://amzn.to/49HTvLSLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lauriemaddalenaInstagram: instagram.com/lauriemaddalena________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to break down what could be done to stop Trump's anti‑weaponization fund—and why she believes it could ultimately be challenged and blocked in the courts. She reflects on the end of an era with Stephen Colbert and explains why his cancellation may actually prove his influence is stronger than ever. Alyssa also discusses why it's possible to support certain policies, like Trump Rx, while still being a vocal critic of President Trump, saying, “I don't want Americans to keep hurting just to stick it to Donald Trump.” The conversation turns personal as Alyssa opens up about the mom guilt she experiences as a working mother and wraps with her evolving take on the ongoing 'Summer House' drama.

Have you ever finally had a little help, quiet, or breathing room, and instead of resting, your brain immediately started listing everything you could get done? The laundry. The dishes. The paperwork. The homeschool planning. The phone calls. The clutter. All the things that have been waiting because the needs in front of you were louder. In this episode, I'm talking about why rest can feel so hard for tired homeschool moms — especially when there is unfinished work everywhere and real people still need you. I share honestly about learning this in my own life as a homeschool mom, Navy wife, and special needs mom who is learning how to run a caregiving marathon without using every pocket of help to work harder. This is not a “take a spa day” episode. It is a gentle reminder that rest is not laziness when it helps you return to your family with more patience, steadiness, and love. If you have been feeling guilty for needing a break, I pray this episode helps you receive one small moment of rest as part of faithful stewardship.

In today's encouraging conversation, we're talking about something many moms quietly carry but rarely talk about — what happens when our kids see us fail.

In this episode, you'll hear biblical encouragement about: How to handle mom guilt after losing your patience Why your children can learn powerful lessons through your humility and repair The importance of apologizing, modeling repentance, and extending grace in motherhood How God's grace meets us in imperfect parenting moments A reminder that following Jesus isn't about pretending we have it all together If you've been feeling discouraged after a hard parenting moment, overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations, or wondering how to move forward after making mistakes as a mom, this episode will remind you that God's mercy is available here too.

In this episode, I'm getting super real and vulnerable with you guys about the things I often quietly struggle with behind the scenes as a Christian, wife, mom, and influencer.

I share honestly about comparison, performative Christianity, balancing motherhood with work, and how God meets us even in our weakness. My prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and reminds you that vulnerability, testimony, and bringing things into the light are where true freedom begins.

Have you ever wondered, “Am I the only one who feels this overwhelmed?” Or quietly questioned if you’re doing any of this motherhood thing “right”? In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I had the sweetest conversation with Andrea Fortenberry—author of Two Minute Timeouts for New Moms—and I think her words will feel like a deep breath for your soul. Andrea gently reminds us that motherhood is both beautiful and hard. From the sleepless newborn days to the bittersweet seasons of letting go, every stage carries its own mix of joy and stretching. And yet, in all of it, you are not alone—and you were never meant to do this on your own. We talked about:• Why so many moms feel overwhelmed and isolated (and the truth that sets us free)• How pride can quietly keep us from asking for the help we truly need• Letting go of perfectionism and embracing “good enough” motherhood• Finding meaningful moments with God—even in the middle of a full, busy day• Releasing mom guilt and receiving God’s grace for yourself One of my favorite reminders from our conversation is this: God knows your season. He sees the late nights, the messy middle, the quiet prayers whispered in the bathroom, and He meets you right there with love and grace. If your heart feels a little tired or stretched thin, I pray this episode encourages you to pause, breathe, and remember that you are doing better than you think. And if a friend comes to mind who might need this encouragement too, would you share it with her? Sometimes the smallest encouragement can make the biggest difference. You are deeply loved, friend, and what you’re doing matters more than you know.

In this episode, we're talking about something so many of us carry quietly… mom guilt.Why do we feel like we have to be everything, do everything, and somehow do it perfectly?I'm joined by Rhonda Stoppe, who gently reminds us that so much of this pressure comes from comparison, past experiences, and believing we're responsible for outcomes that were never ours to carry.We talk about the beauty of mentorship, learning from older, wiser women, and why you don't have to figure motherhood out alone.One of my favorite takeaways… your identity as a mom is not found in your child's choices. It's found in your faithfulness.This conversation will help you release the pressure, refocus on your purpose, and step into motherhood with more peace, grace, and confidence.Find Rhonda Here: https://youtu.be/r2UMywIJBoo?si=Gp7L-i_icYAZ0wPg AuthorTeachingVideos: https://www.rhondastoppe.com/moms-of-the-bible-book/Spanish Translation: https://a.co/d/fItc6ffRhonda's YouTube Channel:

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we're talking all about mom guilt, dad guilt, and why so many of us as parents feel like we're never doing enough. From missing pajama day to working late, social media comparison, feeding choices, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. This episode gets honest about the emotional weight so many of us carry, and why dads often experience parenting guilt very differently. It's funny, chaotic, validating, and a reminder that your kids probably won't remember the thing you're still beating yourself up over.

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.
