Published

Mum guilt can make the page feel risky.

So keep the prompts kind and specific.

Try one of these

  • What am I blaming myself for that might simply be a hard day?
  • What would I say to another mum in the same situation?
  • What did I care about today, even if it looked messy?
  • What is one repair or reset that is small enough for real life?

End with one sentence:

I am allowed to be a good mum and still have human limits.
