Published: March 13, 2023, 7 a.m.

I know I\u2019m not supposed to have favorites, but I can\u2019t help myself.\xa0One of my all-time favorite episodes to record was Mom Guilt Is a Lie.\xa0The reason I loved this episode is multipronged.\xa0\xa0\nFirst, I pointed out to you that the mom guilt you feel (that is very real) comes from a massive lie fed to you by the Patriarchy.\xa0\xa0\nSecond, in making it clear where your guilt comes from, many of you would be able to release the grip that mom guilt has had on you over the years.\xa0\xa0\nAnd finally,\xa0I knew that if you could see mom guilt as a myth, you could also become someone who questions other culturally ingrained messages for moms - liberating not only yourself from the constant marginalization of moms, but hopefully so many other moms around you too!\xa0\nWhile I know many of you benefitted from that episode, I know that you are not miraculously healed.\xa0You are likely still struggling with mom guilt.\xa0My hope is that this episode will help you see how mom guilt plays a role in your life - likely a harmful role - so you may begin to heal from it.\xa0\xa0\nIn this episode, I talk through 3 ways mom guilt is harming you.\xa0Once you see the ways it is harming you, it\u2019s likely you will see how you can start to let it go in order to show up for your life in new and liberated ways!\n\nLinks mentioned:\nSMA Episode 327: Mom Guilt Is a Lie\nToday's Parent Article: Why Mom Guilt Is the Biggest Lie of All\n\nThank you to our sponsors this month!\ncare.com: Get the help you need to make it all work for your family at care.com/book.\xa0\nHello Fresh: Get farm-fresh, pre-portioned meals delivered right to your door!\xa0Go to HelloFresh.com/shameless65 and use code shameless65 for 65% off plus free shipping!\nLast Bottle Wines: Get 10% off your order when you use the code SHAMELESS at lastbottlewines.com.\nLuvbuglearning.com: Support your child\u2019s social-emotional learning with the world's first social-emotional gaming platform.\xa0Go to Luvbuglearning.com and sign up for a 7-day free trial, or simply download from the APP store and subscribe.\nRitual: Ritual\u2019s Essential for Women 18+ is a multivitamin you can actually trust.
