Mom Guilt is a real thing! We all feel it. But what if I told you it didn't have to be that way? What if I told you we were all struggling and none of us truly have this whole mothering thing figured out? Well, it's true! Join me, Morgan Ellis, mom and author of Rest for the Weary Mama as we talk about chapter 7 of my book, Healing from the Past. A bit of a longer episode, but hang with me until the end because it's a good one.

3 Practical Ways to Overcome Mom Guilt

1. God's Word: Read it, meditate on it, and speak His truth over the lies.

“TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT TO MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST.”

2 CORINTHIAN 10:5

2. Prayer:

There is so much power in prayer and I've definitely found in my own life and in the lives of strong women around me that the more you pray and talk with God, the more your heart will change. It is what can give you the capacity to handle all of life's interruptions and deviations from the plan.

3. Accountability:

I've said it before, we need each other and we are better together. Don't try to do everything on your own, invite someone else to be on the healing journey with you. Whether a peer, a mentor, or a trusted counselor who can help encourage you, challenge you, and point you back to God's truth. We all need this accountability to keep growing.

If you are struggling with guilt, fear, or shame from anything past or present, my greatest piece of advice is to not stay stuck where you are, but to use God's word, prayer, and the people around you to work through it and heal. God doesn't want you to stay stuck where you are, to feel weighed down by the heavy burdens of life, but rather bring it all to Him and allow Him to heal your heart and bring you peace in whatever it is you are walking through.

God loves you and so do I!! If you need anything or someone in your corner, please reach out. It is truly my honor to walk alongside you: hello@morganaellis.com
