Ready to say “yes” to you?
I accidentally started the F*** Mum Guilt movement when one “mum-fluencer’s” reel really got my back up.
I won’t lie. It wasn’t pretty.
It was a ranty to-camera video at the high chair with my babies in the background and their lunch in my hair.
I had had ENOUGH! It was a call to arms for any other mums feeling like I was feeling, done with mum guilt to come together. An army showed up. We got national media coverage, and the rest, as they say, is history. I’ve just given a TedX on mum guilt and I’m on a mission to liberate as many mums as possible from guilt.
But what triggered my inner warrior? A toxic message on Instagram, “Only psychopaths don’t feel guilt. Mum guilt shows me how much you love and care.”
Excuse me? Somebody hold my handbag, I’m going in.
Ditching mum guilt does not mean you don’t love and care about your kids (also, when did influencers get to judge how much we love our kids?).
No. It means you care about yourself and your children.
You’re done with being the self-sacrificing martyr society would love you to be.
You know that way burnout lies and want something happier, more fun and a whole lot more you.
