In this episode of Growing Wild, we’re having a heart-to-heart about mom guilt, ambition, and the messy middle where the two collide. If you’ve ever felt torn between being a present mom and a passionate human with big dreams—this one’s for you.
We’ll dive into why guilt shows up (spoiler: it’s not always your fault), how societal pressure, comparison culture, and our own internal perfectionism keep us stuck, and how to start redefining what it really means to be a “good” mom, partner, and person.
Whether you’re building a business, craving creative space, or simply trying to breathe without a to-do list shouting at you—this episode gives you permission to release the guilt and embrace your ambition without apology.
You’ll hear:
- Real stories from my own journey as a mom and creative
- Why fulfillment matters (and makes you better at everything else)
- What balance really looks like (spoiler: it’s not equal parts of everything)
- How to rewrite the narrative around success, motherhood, and self-worth
- The power of surrounding yourself with people who get it
If you're a multitasking mom, creative entrepreneur, or growth-minded woman, hit play—you’re not alone in this.
🎧 Listen now and start showing up for yourself, guilt-free.
Let’s keep growing together!
