In today's episode, Nour dives deep into a topic that resonates with so many moms: the weight of mom guilt.

Have you ever felt that nagging feeling that you should be doing more as a mom?

In this episode, Nour shares her personal experiences with mom guilt, from the first time she felt it after leaving her newborn for a dinner out, to the overwhelming feelings she faced when returning to work.

She explores what mom guilt really is, where it comes from, and how societal expectations shape our experiences as mothers. She discusses the unrealistic standards women often set for themselves and how social media can amplify these feelings.

But it’s not all heavy! She also provides practical tips on how to manage mom guilt effectively. Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect:

• Pick Your Battles: Learn how to identify what guilt is worth holding onto and what you can let go of.
• Let Go of Perfectionism: Embrace the idea that failure is part of the journey and that your kids just need you—your authentic self.
• Share Your Feelings: The importance of having a support system to voice your concerns and feelings.
• Combat Comparison: Understand that your motherhood journey is uniquely yours and that it’s okay to block out the noise of social media.

Remember, it’s perfectly okay to feel a little mom guilt now and then, but it shouldn’t define your motherhood journey. Your feelings are valid, and you are doing enough!
