Published: May 27, 2024, 9:30 a.m.

This month, we're doing a deep dive series into mom guilt\u2014why it's so pervasive and what we can do about it. You can find the playlist with all of the episodes in the series\xa0here. \nFess up: everyone's got a Bad Mom Moment. Or twelve.\nWe tend to hold these things really close, our shame rooted in deep certainty that no other mother has ever temporarily forgotten their baby in the toy aisle at Target.\nGuess what? You're not alone. Here are some of our listeners' Bad Mom Moments\u2013 and more than a few of our own.\nOur guest this week is Arianna Bradford, the brains behind The NYAM (Not Your Average Mom) Project, a website dedicated to helping parents -- moms especially -- celebrate the person they are outside of their role as a parent.\xa0Her book, SHAME ON YOU: BIG TRUTHS FROM A BAD MOM, is a hilarious collection of parenting essays that focus as much on a mother's mental health as they do on kids, and how very, very strange they are.\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
