Podcasts about mom guilt

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.

I share my own evolution, from early postpartum to now raising a school-aged child, and how my marriage shifted along the way.

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. About AlysiaAlysia Lyons is a certified Master Neurotransformational Results Coach, author, Usui Reiki master, and tarot reader dedicated to helping moms release guilt and find peace in their lives.

Do you struggle with constant mom guilt—feeling like you're never doing enough or never quite measuring up? In this episode of Faith-Led Working Moms, we're digging deep into the emotional and spiritual burden of perfectionism that so many Christian working moms carry. You'll learn how to reframe mom guilt, recognize the root causes, and find peace by trusting in God's grace rather than your performance. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or weighed down by unrealistic expectations, this conversation will help you trade pressure for peace. Join me as we explore biblical truths, practical mindset shifts, and encouraging reminders that you were never called to be perfect—only faithful. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The real roots behind mom guilt and why it's so common for working Christian moms Why perfectionism leads to exhaustion and disconnects us from grace Biblical encouragement for moms who feel like they're falling short How to reframe your guilt with God's truth Simple strategies to release pressure and start living with more peace and purpose Key Scriptures Mentioned: Romans 8:1 – “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Psalm 103:12 – “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Motherhood is beautiful, but it's also messy, overwhelming, and full of moments we don't post on social media. In this episode, I open up about my own recent experience with mom guilt, the kind that creeps in and makes us question if we're doing enough, being enough, or handling things the “right” way.Mom guilt can quietly take over the joy of raising our kids, but I want to remind you: losing your patience doesn't make you a bad mom. Having a hard day doesn't mean you're failing. This season is tough, and you are allowed to be human in the midst of it.This episode is here to shed light on the real, raw moments of motherhood that often go unseen. I hope it inspires you to give yourself some grace, to remember that you're doing the best you can and that is more than enough. From one mom to another, you're doing a really good job.

Today, we touch on:Motherhood is no joke! It's way harder than it looks from the outside, especially when your own emotions get involved.In the heat of a meltdown, kids aren't being “bad,” they're stuck in their emotional brain, not their thinking brain.There's no perfect time to work on emotional growth. Start where you are.Getting support isn't weakness, it's wisdom.Kids learn emotional regulation by watching us. Imperfect parenting still teaches powerful lessons when we're honest and intentional.Raising critical thinkers and independent problem-solvers starts with slowing down, naming emotions, and solving problems with our kids.Before you hit play on this interview, sign up for our free #LifeSkillsNow virtual summer camp to see more of Emily!Resources We Mention for Emotional Regulationsign up for our free #LifeSkillsNow virtual summer camp to see more of Emily!The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J.

Mom Guilt. This is a real thing. A day doesn't go by that we don't experience this phsycological phenomenon.   All of the should have dones, could have dones, the mistakes we've made that we'd like to change. The times we did show up as our best, or show up at all. We all have an expectation of what a "good mom" looks like, and spend a lot of time feeling guilt for these expectations. These persistent feelings of guilt can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, or just a flat grumpy mom! And if they stay for long, can lead to bigger problems.  This stress we feel is very disregulating and puts us into a fight, flight, and freeze mode just perpetuating the cycle of self-deprecating thoughts and stress. But we don't have to stay here! The guilt we feel is because of the gap that we see in our mothering.   What if we replaced this gap with grace.  What if we offered it to other's but especially to ourselves!  In this podcast we talk abou grace and filling the gaps with grace! This mother's day and every day, lets add grace to our gaps! Listen In!
