🎙️ EP198: Mac & Cheese and Mom Guilt: Let’s Talk About It

You know that feeling when you're serving up mac & cheese for dinner (again) and thinking, "Am I totally dropping the ball as a parent?" That creeping sense of mom guilt shows up in the quiet moments and the loud ones, making you question if you're doing enough or getting it all wrong.

In this episode, Angela and Sami are joined by Dr. Juhi, a pediatrician and parent coach, who shares how she went from disconnected and frustrated with her teen to building real connection through small shifts and a lot of grace. Together, they unpack how guilt can hold us hostage and how choosing compassion instead can actually make us better parents.

Here’s what we talk about:

Why mom guilt is so common and how to stop letting it define your days
The "awkward, mechanical, natural" framework that makes new habits stick
Why setting boundaries doesn't make you a bad parent, it makes you an intentional one
How self-care is not optional if you want deeper connection with your kids

If you're feeling stretched thin, stuck in guilt, or just need a reminder that your parenting doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.

This is your reminder that showing up, even imperfectly, is more than enough. You’re not alone.
