In this eye-opening episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down with Kate Kripke, Maternal Mental Health & Parenting Coach, to unpack one of the heaviest emotions moms carry guilt. We are all so aware of what this feels like, but I know you have questions about this mom-guilt like me. Where does it come from? What is it trying to tell us. And, can we learn to live without it? Kate dives deep into the neuroscience of attachment, revealing how a mother’s mental health directly impacts her child’s well-being, not through perfection, but through presence and connection. Together, we challenge the myth of “good kids” and redefine what it truly means to thrive- not only in motherhood or our careers, but in both. We’ll explore the cultural messages working moms absorb, the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves, and the surprising truth about what our children actually need most to be healthy, happy, and whole. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to raise grounded kids and build a meaningful career without the guilt... this episode is for you. This conversation is truly amazing, and I can’t wait for you to learn alongside me.
