Growing Wild with Jamie Cole | Mindset, Marketing, and Personal Growth for Creative Entrepreneurs

EP 10: Mom Guilt and Ambition: Embracing Self-Worth and Reclaiming your Dreams

Jamie Cole

In this episode of Growing Wild, we’re having a heart-to-heart about mom guilt, ambition, and the messy middle where the two collide. If you’ve ever felt torn between being a present mom and a passionate human with big dreams—this one’s for you.

We’ll dive into why guilt shows up (spoiler: it’s not always your fault), how societal pressure, comparison culture, and our own internal perfectionism keep us stuck, and how to start redefining what it really means to be a “good” mom, partner, and person.

Whether you’re building a business, craving creative space, or simply trying to breathe without a to-do list shouting at you—this episode gives you permission to release the guilt and embrace your ambition without apology.

You’ll hear:

  • Real stories from my own journey as a mom and creative
  • Why fulfillment matters (and makes you better at everything else)
  • What balance really looks like (spoiler: it’s not equal parts of everything)
  • How to rewrite the narrative around success, motherhood, and self-worth
  • The power of surrounding yourself with people who get it

If you're a multitasking mom, creative entrepreneur, or growth-minded woman, hit play—you’re not alone in this.

🎧 Listen now and start showing up for yourself, guilt-free.
