The Gift of Mom Guilt [NE 054]

Naptime Empires with Nikki Elledge Brown: Refreshingly Honest Conversations for Entrepreneurial Moms

Mom guilt gets a bad wrap. << okay I didn't write that as a "gift" pun... but it's actually perfect. Because in this ep I'm speaking to the GIFT(s) of mom guilt. Specifically, I'm sharing a helpful reframe that's really shifted my view of it this year. (And how I see it differently now than I did when I recorded my first solo ep of this very podcast - http://naptimeempires.com/003).

I offer up the idea of seeing mom guilt (any guilt, and really any emotion) as valuable feedback. Instead of hot-potato'ing our way out of uncomfortable emotions, what happens if we see them as teachers and opportunities to evaluate + recalibrate?

I also share a simple (not easy, but SIMPLE) exercise that has helped me take the sting out of guilt so I can GET to the point of seeing the lesson. There's always a benefit if we're willing to look hard enough.

Have a listen and tag me in your Instastory @nikkielledgebrown with your fave aha. This convo is just beginning!
