Color And Happy : A Podcast About Creativity

Hello and thanks for listening! Want to receive all the creative mama goodness? Come join the party. On today’s solo show I get super personal about something that I struggle with a lot: mom guilt. Truth be told- I struggled with guilt before I became a mom. (I was seriously that weird kid that cried when my little brother did something wrong.)

In this conversation you will also hear: My reasoning on why negative emotions are the most helpful Why guilt is an indicator of being a good mom How guilt is like a hyper sensitive newborn Why all the moms on Hear Motherhood are asked to go beyond the things they choose to highlight on their Instagram feed The real questions I ask myself when I’m spending time on this podcast instead
