Show Notes

It's real.  It's present.  It's a beast. 

We CAN manage it though....check out these FIVE ways to manage the terrible "mom guilt" we all feel! 

Give yourself permission to fail.  Give yourself permission to be messy.  Give yourself permission to make mistakes.  Give yourself permission to sit down and rest...and DO NOT feel guilty for one second.

5 Ways to Manage Mom Guilt:
1.  Take Care of YOU - Yes You!
2.  Understand That Perfection is Truly Unattainable
3.  Surround Yourself with YOUR People
4.  Create Your Own Mommy-Guilt Credo
5.  Let It Go!

"I remind myself every day that the version of motherhood in my head - the mom guilt, the imperfection, the worry - isn't the same version of motherhood that my kids see - a mom who loves them fully and forever no matter what."
