95 - resilience & mom guilt: growth in the chaos, part 4

Motherhood is chaotic—but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow in the middle of it. In the Growth in the Chaos series, we’re breaking down how to navigate the unpredictable, exhausting seasons of motherhood while still making progress toward the life you want.

In part 4, we’re getting personal about the guilt we carry and the resilience it takes to keep growing — even when things feel heavy. From second-guessing yourself to feeling like you’re not doing enough, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why growth often feels uncomfortable — and why that’s not a bad thing
✔️ How the Zeigarnik Effect and mental load fuel guilt in motherhood
✔️ What self-compassion really means (and how to start practicing it)
✔️ A mindset shift and practical steps to move forward when you feel stuck

This episode blends honest storytelling with science-backed tools to help you grow through the chaos — not after it.
