28| 5 Hidden Habits That Keep Moms Stuck in the Shoulds and How to Break Free Without Guilt
Do you feel guilty resting—even when you’re exhausted?Do you end the day feeling like you did everything… yet still fell short?Are the “shoulds” stealing your peace—and your time?
If that sounds familiar, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
So many moms don’t struggle with motivation or discipline—we struggle with the nonstop mental noise of shoulds:
You should do more
You should handle this better
You should be able to keep it all together
In today’s episode, I’m exposing 5 hidden habits that quietly keep moms stuck in guilt, overwhelm, and decision fatigue—and showing you how to break free without blowing up your life or adding more to your plate.
We’ll talk about:
Why letting every “should” run the show drains your time and confidence
How over-explaining your decisions reinforces guilt
The boundary mistake that keeps moms overextended
Why putting yourself last isn’t sustainable (or necessary)
And the mindset shift every mom needs to stop comparing her capacity to someone else’s season
You’ll walk away with:
Permission to question the invisible rulebook you’ve been living by
Simple language to make decisions without guilt
Practical boundary shifts that actually work in real life
A reminder that your capacity is not a moral issue—it’s information
If you’re a mom of tweens or teens who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed by expectations, or stuck in the “shoulds,” this episode is for you.
