Guilt. It’s the silent shadow that follows so many of us—whether we’re moms, business owners, or just women trying to juggle everything life throws our way. I know it well. For years, I’ve carried it, letting it creep into my thoughts:
“Am I doing enough for my kids?”
“Am I giving my business everything it needs?”
“Am I letting people down by taking time for myself?”
But here’s the thing—guilt serves no one.
The Truth About Guilt
Let me ask you something: Have you ever felt like you’re constantly running on empty? That you’re so busy being everything to everyone that you forget to take care of yourself?
I’ve been there. Trying to do it all, striving for perfection, only to realize that it’s impossible. And you know what I’ve learned? Your kids don’t need a perfect mom—they need a happy one.
When I let go of the idea that I had to do it all, something shifted. Suddenly, I could breathe again.
What I’ve Learned About Guilt
Here’s one little exercise that’s changed everything for me—and I’ll be sharing more about it in my next newsletter:
At the end of each day, I take a moment to reflect on one thing I did well. Just one. It could be spending quality time with my kids, reaching a small business goal, or even taking a much-needed break.
That small moment of reflection has helped me stop focusing on what I didn’t do and start celebrating what I did.
And guess what? The guilt starts to fade.
