Mom guilt is real. And it's stopping you from being the calm parent you want to be. In this episode, guest Mary Skinner helps you understand why you feel guilty, where it comes from, and how to stop blaming yourself.

We’re also getting into our own journeys of learning how to drop guilt, set better boundaries, and become the leaders of our families. There are so many little nuggets of wisdom in this episode that I can’t wait for you to hear.

You'll Learn:

  • Problems with gentle parenting
  • Where mom guilt comes from
  • How to stop feeling so much mom guilt
  • Why boundaries are so important (and how to get better at them)
  • A simple mantra to help you drop self-judgment and guilt

Mary Skinner is a holistic birth and postpartum doula, founder of the Lotus Doula Tribe, mother of three children, yoga instructor, and all-around amazing mom and person. I hope you love our conversation!
