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.

Raven brings the exact thoughts so many moms are silently living with: I don't have a choice. I can't spend money on myself. My chaos is just who I am. Other women can thrive, but not me.

It's more complicated than that.In this episode, we're getting real about how we use screen time — the messy “balance” we're all trying to find — and how to make it work for our families instead of against us. We talk about living in a tech-heavy world, being part of the last generation (hey, millennials!) who grew up both with and without screens, and now raising kids who've never known life any other way.

I spoke with Megan Tobler, host of the Self StartHER podcast, shares her transformative journey from a high-powered corporate sales career to becoming a mompreneur. After being laid off while pregnant, she realized she could redefine success on her own terms. She created the Together community to support women navigating the complex landscape of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Her mission is to empower women to chase their dreams without apology. Understanding the challenges of identity shifts, balancing business and family, and feeling isolated, she built a community offering resources, networking, and masterclasses designed specifically for busy moms wanting to build businesses. Through her podcast and community, Tobler proves that women can have both - a thriving business and a fulfilling family life. By sharing vulnerable, real stories and providing practical strategies, she helps women recognize their inherent skills and potential, one mom at a time. Megan's website is here.

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.

Nobody ever told me it was ok to disappoint people. But instead to silence myself so no one was uncomfortable, while feeling like I always had to be "on". And that's especially hard if you're a black mother, struggling to balance showing up for everyone and everything, but not prioritizing yourself. So when I sat down with Shirria McCullough, a therapist for ambitious millennial moms focused on their self care without mom guilt, she said something so on point. "Moms deserve to be happy and kids deserve happy moms."We also get into how black women also feel pressured to show up, say less, and still be grateful and why we truly don't owe anyone anything.

Whether you're a new mom or an empty nester, hope and healing are always possible.
