43. I have an easy baby… so why do I feel guilty?

Have you ever felt guilty because motherhood is easier than you thought it would be? Maybe your baby sleeps well, rarely gets sick, and you’re actually enjoying this season but instead of celebrating, you feel bad about it.

In this episode, Nat unpacks a Reddit post from a mum who admitted she was finding things surprisingly smooth, and the guilt and isolation that came with it.

We'll hear:

• why mums often expect only the hard parts of motherhood

• how comparison and guilt creep in when things feel “too easy”

• why every phase brings its own mix of challenges and ease

• the importance of celebrating the good moments without shame

• how to find safe spaces to share your real experience
