"If your mom guilt doesn't allow you to write a love letter to yourself, then write it to your child, and in writing it to your child you'll be able to see these words and phrases that really pop-out where you know that that's what's really vital to you to teach to your kids or just generally have in your life" - Nikki
In today's episode:
- Amanda and her guest, Nikki Piotrowski (a lifestyle and success coach) discuss the concept of 'mom guilt' and go in-depth with their experiences with it.
- Mom guilt is that immense pressure moms put on themselves to be the EXACT perfect mother, the immense fear they might feel to make their child perfect and the fear of "messing" them up.
- They talk about how social media has created more opportunities for moms to compare themselves to the 'perfect' ideal moms that people; influencers and other moms might put out. They discuss whether or not the guilt comes from biological factors or societal conditioning.
- They talk about trying to redefine the word 'selfish' to get rid of the negative association that some women feel when they take time to focus on themselves.
- They also discuss how giving your children and yourself more freedom in parenting, will not only take more pressure off yourself, but your children as well. Enjoy today's episode!
