Episode 78: Managing Mom Guilt - Balancing Caregiving with Self-Care

Message us your comments

If you’re a working mum over 40 and you’ve ever felt guilty for working, guilty for not working, guilty for snapping, or guilty for wanting ten quiet minutes to yourself… this episode is for you.

In perimenopause and menopause, your stress tolerance shrinks, sleep gets messy, and suddenly the mental load you’ve always carried feels twice as heavy. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means the rules quietly changed without anyone handing you a new playbook.

In this episode of Empower Your Menopause, we’re unpacking why mum guilt gets so loud in midlife, why menopause amplifies it, and how to work with it rather than letting it run the show. You’ll leave with practical, real-life tools you can use even on your most chaotic days — no perfection required.

And if this conversation hits a nerve, it’s exactly why we created The Mother of All Menopause Summits — a free, three-day online event (February 11–13, 2026) built specifically for busy career and business mums who need clarity, support, and a plan that actually fits real life.
