Motherhood Guilt: Why Wanting More Doesn’t Make You a Bad Mum
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Motherhood guilt is one of the quietest burdens women carry.
In this episode, Michelle J explores why so many mothers feel guilty for wanting more than motherhood; more growth, more identity, more fulfillment, and why that desire doesn’t make you a bad mum.
This conversation unpacks:
• Where motherhood guilt really comes from
• Why wanting more is often mistaken for ingratitude
• How women learn to bury their identity instead of expand it
• Why fulfillment doesn’t take away from your children, it gives back to them
If you’ve ever loved your children deeply but still felt a pull toward something more, this episode will help you understand why — and how to stop shrinking yourself in the name of being “good.”
Michelle also shares how this journey connects to reclaiming identity inside the Identity Code Workshop.
You’re not broken.
You’re not selfish.
And you’re not a bad mother for wanting more.
