You feel like you’re not doing enough.
You’re pulled in a million directions, stretched so thin that you’re running on empty—yet, somehow, there’s always that whisper in the back of your mind telling you that you should be doing more.
💭 “I should be more patient.”
💭 “I should play with them more.”
💭 “I should be more organised, healthier, calmer, better.”
Even when you’re giving everything you have, it never quite feels like enough. This is mum guilt, and it’s stealing your joy.
BUT - You are already enough. And it’s time to stop letting guilt tell you otherwise.
Why Do We Feel Mum Guilt So Deeply?
📊 Did you know? Studies show that 78% of mothers experience chronic feelings of guilt, no matter their parenting choices. (Psychology Today, 2020)
And it’s no surprise. We’re living in a world where:
🔹 Social media highlights everyone’s best moments—leaving us comparing our reality to someone else’s highlight reel.
🔹 We’ve been conditioned to believe that being a “good mum” means sacrificing ourselves—that rest is selfish, and struggling means we’re failing.
🔹 There’s always conflicting advice—no matter what you do, someone will tell you you’re doing it wrong.
It’s exhausting.
And yet, we keep pushing ourselves to meet impossible standards, believing the lie that “good enough” isn’t actually enough.
How Mum Guilt is Quietly Hurting You
💔 It stops you from enjoying the moments that matter.Instead of feeling present, you’re distracted by what you should be doing differently.
💔 It makes you doubt yourself constantly. You second-guess your decisions, wondering if you’re ruining your kids instead of trusting that you’re doing your best.
💔 It leads to burnout. You’re pouring from an empty cup, feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected.
And the saddest part?
Your kids don’t need a perfect mum. They just need a happy one.
