June 27, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 5.58 MBReleasing your mom guilt is actually a lot easier than you think! Before we dive into my top strategy for this, it's important to know that there are two types of mom guilt: 1. The first type of mom guilt is valid guilt. This is informative & constructive as its signals to us that we're behaving in a way that is out of alignment with our values or intentions.

Are they watching too much tv? The house being a mess. The never ending laundry. Are my kids going to grow into kind, caring, awesome adults or have I ruined them forever?
