🎙 Working Moms & Mom Guilt
🔹 Episode Summary:
Working moms, we see you—and we get it. The constant juggling act, the guilt trips (both self-imposed and from others), and the worry about whether we’re doing enough for our kids. In this first episode of I Get It From My Mom, Elissa, Ava, and Maggie take a deep dive into the realities of growing up with a working mom.
They explore:
 ✅ The early days of maternity leave ending and the struggle of returning to work
 ✅ How kids actually feel about their moms working (spoiler: it’s not as bad as we think!)
✅ The balance between being involved and giving kids the independence they need
✅ Whether working mom guilt even matters in the long run
Through honest conversation and some hilarious throwback stories, this episode sheds light on what it’s really like for both moms and their kids as they navigate careers, parenting, and everything in between.
🎧 Listen now for some real talk on work, motherhood, and letting go of the guilt! (And pardon the audio inconsistencies in our first-ever podcast!)
🔹 Takeaways & Reflection:
📌 Moms—your guilt is real, but your kids may not even feel it the way you think.
📌 Kids—parents work hard, but that doesn’t mean they love you any less.
📌 Everyone—family balance looks different for everyone, and that’s okay!
