Guilt is a normal part of the motherhood experience.
Right?
Wrong.
While some guilt in motherhood can be helpful, the majority is not. The concept of maternal guilt has been hijacked by western, patriarchal societies as a means of keeping modern mothers so preoccupied with our perceived "failings" that we are unable to flourish.
It's time for a revolution.
Drawing on the author's work as a coach, maternal guilt researcher and motherhood studies practitioner, alongside her own experiences as a mother, Challenge Your Guilt shares:
• Where guilt and shame in motherhood come from, how they show up, and why they negatively impact our well-being; • How to identify helpful vs. unhelpful guilt, and why the latter is problematic; • What we can do to flip the script and socially un-condition ourselves from unhelpful guilt; • Practical, evidence-based tools to move past guilt and flourish; • Stories and insights from twenty-eight mothers and nine experts; and • A vision of a world without unhelpful maternal guilt, and how we can create it together
