Challenge Your Guilt
Rest Loudly and Release the Guilt with Anna Mathur
Welcome to the very first episode of Challenge Your Guilt!
I couldn’t imagine a better guest to start this journey with than Anna Mathur — psychotherapist, bestselling author, mother, and someone whose words on guilt have shaped my own work.
In this episode we explore:
- Why mothers so often believe we’re the problem — and how to flip that script.
- How to ask, “Have I actually done anything wrong?” when guilt strikes.
- The power of practicing self-compassion instead of bullying ourselves with the inner critic.
- Why it’s vital to “rest loudly” and model rest for our children.
- Making the invisible load visible in relationships, and having honest conversations about resentment.
- Anna’s practical ACT tool (Address, Compassion, Tweak) to move through guilt.
This is a conversation packed with wisdom, laughter, and lightbulb moments to help you dismantle guilt and step into a more flourishing motherhood.
