Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“ My mom says should is a dirty word, and I'm starting to understand where she's coming from.” 
“ We're balancing work, family, relationships, and life with an energy tank that's constantly running a little low. And then, instead of giving ourselves grace, we pile guilt on top of that. Sound familiar?”
“And just like how mold loves a dark and warm environment, mom guilt thrives when you're already running on empty.”

“ 100 percent said that they have experienced mom guilt. So you are not alone in feeling this.”

“...it's not something that you invented or made up in your head. It's something that most of us have been taught, either directly or indirectly, by our parents, our grandparents, other women that we've seen in our lives, and by a society that seems to expect moms to be everything to everyone all the time.”
