Hey Flex Fam!
Welcome back to another episode of Flex and the City! In today’s episode, we’re diving into something that hits home for a lot of us – Mom Guilt. From feeling like you’re never doing enough for your kids to questioning your every move, mom guilt can be a total mindf*ck.
We get real and raw about our own experiences with mom guilt, the pressures of trying to be the “perfect mom” (spoiler alert: she doesn’t exist), and how societal expectations just make it worse. We also talk about how the system was never built for moms to succeed – and why it’s time we stop trying to fit into a broken mold.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking time for yourself, doubted your worth as a mom, or just felt overwhelmed by it all…you are NOT alone. 💯
Listen in as we unpack where mom guilt comes from, how we can start letting go of these impossible standards, and why it’s so important to remember that you were a whole person before you became a mom.
Oh, and don’t miss our announcement at the end – we’ve got an exciting guest lined up for the next episode! 👀🔥
✨ Key Topics:
- What is Mom Guilt and Why It Happens
- Personal Stories of Guilt, Burnout, and Trying to Be Perfect
- Societal Pressure & Unrealistic Expectations of Motherhood
- Why Self-Care Isn’t Selfish
- How to Rediscover Yourself Outside of Being a Mom
