Episode 263: Grace Instead of Mom Guilt

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!
