013 | Dealing With - and Overcoming - Mom Guilt in a Society That Tells Us Otherwise

Mom guilt.

It's something all moms struggle with, and not just in postpartum. It can affect our entire lives raising kids. While this is an entirely normal feeling, it's essential not to fall too far into the trap that mom guilt can create for us.

How do we shift away from mom guilt without feeling like a bad mom?

Kelsey Mizell is a licensed professional counselor specializing in prenatal and maternal health. In this episode, we talk about the social stigmas surrounding mom guilt and how we can break away from the standards put on mothers everywhere.

Kelsey's advice and strategies focus on being worthy, not perfect. We talk about the importance of being in tune with your emotions, knowing when it's okay to ask for help, and giving how to give time to yourself finally.
