Episode Details

What if the guilt you feel as a working mum isn't actually yours to carry? Rebecca and parenting expert Dr. Laura Froyen explore the stories we've been told about motherhood, career, and what it means to be a "good mum". Together they unpack the research, challenge common beliefs, and share practical ways to parent with more confidence and far less guilt.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The difference between true guilt and the guilt you've inherited from society.
• What research actually says about working mums and child development.
• Why presence matters more than the number of hours you spend with your kids.
• How modelling self-care helps your children far more than self-sacrifice.
• Simple ways to build stronger connection while balancing career and family.
