146. How to Stop Mom Guilt & Reclaim Your Main Character Energy | Emily Hardy Interview

Are you caught in the cycle of mom guilt, constantly putting everyone else first and feeling like you've lost yourself in motherhood? In this episode, I chat with Emily Rose, host of the Worthy Mother podcast and certified motherhood studies practitioner, about breaking free from the shame spiral and becoming the main character in your own life again.

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • Why mom guilt is really about shame and how to move towards compassion
  • How to identify the underlying beliefs causing your guilt
  • The grief that comes with motherhood not looking like what you expected
  • Why doing things for yourself actually makes you a better parent (and models healthy boundaries for your kids)
  • Practical ways to make small "main character" choices daily

Emily shares a refreshing perspective that will help you give yourself permission to exist as more than just "mom" while still being the caring, present parent you want to be.
