By popular demand, I’ll be doing some more posts and videos on the postpartum period, primarily with my sister, Jen Reddish, Jen is a therapist who focuses on mental well-being in the perinatal period.
Our last video, Postpartum Rage, was a huge hit, and several of my clients messaged me saying, “Your sister is amazing! Share her work more!”
This time, we discussed the concept of “Mom Guilt”, and how it relates to the loss of identity in new parenthood.
What is “Mom Guilt”? You’ll hear about why Jen doesn’t like the term “Mom Guilt”, explore where the guilt comes from, how to recognize it, learn from it, and take steps to let it go. Watch the video:
If the concepts of guilt and identity loss resonate with you, Check out Jen’s workshop: Reclaiming Your Identity & Releasing Guilt in Motherhood to learn specific tools for exploring where your guilt comes from and how give yourself person to make time for yourself, give from a “full cup” and let go of some guilt and self or societal expectations around new parenthood.
In this empowering workshop, you will be supported to RECLAIM your identity and learn ways of releasing guilt that is toxic for you.
This is the right space for you if you relate to any of the following:
- You feel guilty a lot of the time for things you do or do not do for yourself, your kids, your partner, and other family & friends!
- You find it hard to connect to who you are, what you want/need, and struggle to put yourself first … and feel guilty when you do!
- You are often worrying about other people’s problems, and about what others think of you
- You withhold parts of yourself or don’t ask for support because you don’t want to “burden” others
- You find yourself saying yes when you want to say no
Join this workshop to feel empowered in reclaiming your identity & your authentic self!
