Next Episode: 9. Moms Helping Moms: How to Overcome Mom Guilt (Part 1)

Believe it or not moms, we get sick too! Mom guilt will have us thinking we did something wrong because we are sick or we are less than because we can’t get everything done. I used to believe that moms don’t get sick days, however, today I am challenging that thought pattern.

You are human and your health matters. You don’t have to be a superhero! It’s bad enough with the common cold or flu, but find out what to do when illness occurs and you are no longer the mom you used to be.

Today, I am peeling back the layers and getting real with you about a health challenge I recently experienced. This is the first time I’ve told this story outside of close friends and family (as you can probably tell since I get a little emotional re-living the experience), but you know I believe in sharing stories so that I can help uplift and encourage someone else.

What do you do when you are ill? On today’s show, I discuss the unique challenges that come with illness, especially chronic illness, and how you can make the most of motherhood and life even when you’re ill.

In this episode, I chat with you about:

How quickly life can change
How to navigate health challenges
How your illness impacts your family
How done is better than perfect
