Episode 4 -- Removing “Guilt” from the Lexicon

Here’s the story we discuss this week:

“How can we remove the words ‘guilt’ and ‘failure’ from the parenting lexicon? I’m sick of reading about Mother’s Guilt as if it’s a norm. The manner in which motherhood is depicted these days is not doing motherhood itself any favours. The struggle to find time. The importance of self-care. Both valid but not worthy of guilt! Enough already.”
