Podcast Episode 272: How Mom Guilt is Hurting Us In Motherhood with Renee Reina, PhD

Ah, mom guilt (and comparison to other moms). They’re those sneaky little gremlins that seem to pop up whenever you’re about to enjoy a moment of peace. You’ve just sat down with a cup of coffee, ready to bask in five glorious minutes of quiet, and…

BAM! There they are, whispering in your ear, “Shouldn’t you be doing something more productive?” We’ve all been there, caught in the web of mom guilt and comparing ourselves to everyone else.

Welcome to the social media era, where everyone’s life looks perfect. Instagram feeds are filled with moms who seem to have it all together—immaculate homes, gourmet lunches, and kids who always look like they stepped out of a Gap commercial.

It’s hard not to compare yourself and feel like you’re falling short.

The pressure to be the perfect mom is immense. Society tells us we should be nurturing, patient, always present, and preferably, making homemade organic snacks from scratch. Anything less, and you might feel like you’re failing.

Comparison and desperation are real, and they’re particularly damaging to moms.

In this podcast episode we’re joined by Renee Reina, PhD is the host & creator of The Mom Room Podcast and she is changing the narrative around what it means to be a mom. We’re going to dive into the origins of this guilt, how we can kick it to the curb, and finally enjoy the beautiful chaos of motherhood!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • That compare and despair is a REAL and damaging thing, especially as a Mom
  • The origins and causes of your Mom guilt
  • How to ditch feelings of guilt in order to be present and enjoy time with your kids
  • Common societal pressures and expectations placed on women that contribute to feelings of Mom guilt

Is your kid overscheduled? Here’s your fix.

When we started my daughter in piano lessons at 4-years-old, I was excited.

You see, I had always wanted to be able to play piano.

Make no mistake, my parents signed me up for lessons. First through the local parks and rec, then through a private teacher when I got to high school.

I bordered on mediocre – mainly because I never practiced.

In high school, I saw the students who played piano beautifully and secretly envied their skill

They went to summer music camp in Boston, got offered college scholarships – all sorts of recognition. And here I was – too lazy to practice.

When my daughter started piano, I vowed that she wouldn’t be like me.
