How to Finally Beat Mommy Guilt Once and for All

Mommy guilt — that nagging feeling that haunts every mom and shouts we’re not doing enough, not getting it right, and we’re failing our kids big time.

I’m willing to bet you know this feeling all too well.

For me, it shows up as a fear of failure. It’s that overly critical voice that’s judging every decision I make as a mom.

It tells me I work too much.

I’m not spending enough time with my kids.

I’m going to mess them up for life if I’m not readily available at their beck and call.

The truth is, it’s a joy stealer and peace killer. Not to mention a big fat lie.

Its sole purpose is to make you feel like a bad mom so you parent from a place of guilt and shame instead of joy and freedom. That is not the life Jesus came and died for us to live, mamas.

He came to set us free from the condemnation and false guilt that we feel as mothers.

My big “aha” moment came when I was reading Valorie Burton’s book, Letting Go of Guilt. In her book she discusses the different places guilt comes from, and how guilt is actually a form of worry.
