In this heartfelt episode of Chats from the Blog Cabin, host Melissa Vera gets real about the two words that have the power to break her: “Bad Mom.” Melissa opens up about the guilt, self-doubt, and emotional weight moms carry, and how a single comment can trigger feelings of failure. She shares her personal journey of motherhood, the sacrifices, and the love that drives her, while encouraging listeners to reject the “bad mom” label and embrace grace, growth, and the truth that showing up every day makes you a good mom.
This episode is perfect for moms who have ever felt judged, misunderstood, or overwhelmed, and need a reminder that they are not alone.
