It's okay to admit that mom life feels harder

0:03

than you ever thought it would be. It's also

0:05

okay to want it to feel easier. We're surrounded

0:08

by mixed messages all day. Keep

0:10

a clean house, but not too clean. Take

0:12

a rest, mama, but not too long. That's just

0:14

selfish. Homemaking is dead, but you

0:16

better still take care of everything, every

0:18

day. We're told you have two choices. Be

0:21

Pinterest perfect or a 24-7 hot mess. I

0:24

don't know about you, but I'm exhausted and over it.

0:26

I'm Kendra Hennessey, founder of Mother Like a Boss,

0:28

and I put reluctant homemakers back in

0:31

the driver's seat of motherhood with realistic

0:33

routines and practical mindset shifts. I

0:35

believe in empowering you to create a home that feels like

0:37

a safety net, not a tightrope. I believe

0:39

in martyr-free motherhood that puts you behind the wheel

0:42

of your own life. As a mom of two, I'm

0:44

here to give you judgment-free strategies and

0:46

have honest conversations that equip you with

0:48

what you need to live your absolute best mom

0:51

life. Welcome to the Mother Like a Boss podcast.

0:53

Well, hey there, friend. The

0:55

Mother Like a Boss podcast is on a

0:57

sabbatical. We're taking a break from putting

0:59

out new episodes, but don't worry

1:01

because I am replaying some

1:03

of our greatest hits here. So the episode that you are

1:06

about to hear is not new. It was

1:08

recorded and released. Some

1:11

of them may have been released a few months ago, some of them

1:13

a few years ago. So just know that

1:15

they are not brand new. There

1:17

may be things mentioned in the episode

1:19

that are no longer available or

1:22

live. I'm sorry about that. But

1:24

again, these are not brand new. The

1:26

content is still great. And whether you are brand

1:29

new to listening or have been listening for

1:31

the last five and a half years, I am so

1:33

grateful for you. Here's how you stay in the know

1:35

with all things Mother Like a Boss going forward, even

1:37

when we are on break. The first is to take

1:40

the special quiz that is

1:42

going to give you a custom cleaning

1:44

routine based on your needs and your personality.

1:47

You can get that at motherlikeaboss.com forward

1:49

slash quiz. This

1:51

is such an amazing resource. It

1:53

only takes two minutes. It's a few really fun

1:56

questions. And then you are going to get, like

1:58

I said, a custom cleaning plan that.

1:59

fits your needs and really

2:02

gives you a jumpstart and some custom resources

2:04

to get you started. Also be sure to follow

2:06

me over on Instagram at Mother Like a Boss

2:09

and TikTok at TheMotherLikeaboss. That

2:11

is where I am continually

2:14

putting new videos and new content,

2:16

lots of value, behind the scenes,

2:19

stories, all of that good stuff. So be sure to follow

2:21

over there. I hope that you enjoy this

2:24

replay of this episode, not brand new,

2:27

but possibly brand new to you. And I hope

2:29

that you enjoy the episodes that are coming as

2:31

well. All right, let's get into it. Hello

2:33

there friends, welcome back to another episode

2:35

of the Mother Like a Boss podcast. It's your

2:38

host here, Kendra Hennessey. So

2:40

glad to have you all back. Now, I'm

2:42

going to be very real and say

2:44

a few things before we start. Number

2:47

one is that I am

2:49

recording this as my son is in his

2:51

virtual reading group. And so

2:53

more than usual, he is talking

2:56

and he's talking very loud because sometimes

2:58

they shout things out, which

3:00

is wonderful for reading group, not so wonderful

3:02

when you record things. So I'm just gonna be honest and say, there

3:05

may be some background noise, I hope not.

3:08

But this is motherhood. This is motherhood

3:10

in the time of the pandemic. This is

3:12

motherhood in owning a business. It's just

3:15

what we're working with here. The second

3:17

thing that I wanna say is that

3:21

I'm going to try my very best not to get too ranty

3:23

or salty in this episode, but I cannot

3:25

promise anything. I am very

3:28

impassioned by this topic.

3:31

I have a lot of passion for it. I have thought

3:33

a lot about it. I've been speaking

3:35

about it on my Instagram quite a bit. And

3:38

I think that it was really time for

3:40

us to have this bigger discussion on

3:42

the podcast. And I even titled

3:44

the podcast something a little

3:46

salty, which is that

3:49

I'm done with mom guilt. And when

3:51

I say I'm done with mom guilt, I don't just

3:53

mean that I'm done with it for myself. And

3:55

oh, I'm just guys, I've drawn a line in the

3:57

sand and said, I'm not gonna cross it. I'm not gonna

3:59

feel. mom guilt anymore. What I mean is that

4:01

I'm done with the perpetuation of it

4:04

in our society when it comes to motherhood.

4:07

I'm done with having

4:09

to always speak

4:12

about it when you're talking about motherhood.

4:15

I'm done with when I'm talking about

4:17

mindset and home management that

4:19

there's always this veil

4:21

of guilt that has to go over it, not that

4:23

does go over it through our feelings because our

4:26

feelings are always valid. What I mean

4:28

is that if you're a mother, you automatically

4:31

are told and conditioned to believe

4:33

that at some point you're supposed to feel guilty about your actions.

4:36

Why? Because no matter what moms do,

4:39

they're wrong, right? We're judged

4:41

no matter what. It's the damned if you do, damned if you

4:43

don't situation. And so when

4:45

I say I'm done, it really is that just annoyance

4:49

over the overall beliefs about

4:51

mom guilt and I want to have a really open

4:54

conversation. So I know when I say I want to have

4:56

a conversation, it might seem like,

4:58

but Kendra, you're the only one talking right now. This

5:00

is a podcast. I understand that,

5:03

but I want you to come follow me over on

5:05

Instagram at motherlikeaboss.

5:07

That's where you can find me. So just at motherlikeaboss

5:11

over on Instagram and DM

5:13

me and let's have this conversation and let me know

5:15

what you're thinking. I have talked

5:17

about it a lot on Instagram

5:20

and the DMs and the messages

5:22

that I'm getting are so amazing and I'm

5:24

loving having these conversations and I want them to continue.

5:27

So I feel like we have an obsession

5:30

with mom guilt in the culture

5:32

of motherhood. So much

5:34

so that the term seems

5:37

to be one word now. You know how we take two

5:39

words like mom and guilt and we put them together

5:41

and it's almost like a contraction now when you

5:43

learn in school. It's almost it's its own

5:46

phrase and we've come

5:48

to just feel like it's just

5:50

a thing so much so that it just kind of rolls

5:53

off the tongue. Now there are a lot

5:55

of reasons why mom guilt pops up so

5:57

I want to first tackle those.

6:00

and then get into the maybe

6:02

more salty portions of this episode. But

6:05

mom guilt can pop up not because we've

6:07

done something wrong, not because

6:10

we even believe we've done something wrong, but

6:12

there's a lot of other elements that can go into it, like

6:14

what we learned or saw as a child

6:16

growing up. So if we saw that our

6:19

own parent, especially a maternal figure,

6:22

had a lot of guilt or did

6:25

not ever take care of themselves

6:28

and sort of had the martyrdom

6:30

that happens a lot when it comes

6:33

to motherhood. If we saw that,

6:35

then that can actually cause a lot of the mom

6:38

guilt that springs up around doing things

6:40

for yourself because if you never saw that modeled

6:42

for yourself, then how would you know that that's

6:45

something that you're worthy of doing, that you're actually

6:47

allowed to do as a human being?

6:50

There's also our culture, societal

6:53

norms, and it is just normal

6:56

in our society to make

6:58

people feel guilty about what they're

7:00

choosing to do as a parent. But I

7:02

say parent, but I really do mean mom, and we're going to

7:04

talk about this in just a second, the difference between

7:06

the mom guilt and the dad guilt, right? So

7:09

it could be societal norms, things we

7:11

saw growing up. People pleasing.

7:14

You know, when we're someone that is

7:16

a people pleaser, when we just want to make everyone

7:18

else happy, when we want to avoid confrontation,

7:21

when we want to avoid discomfort,

7:24

that mom guilt may be popping up

7:26

even more because we might be afraid that

7:29

I'm doing something for myself and what if it's not pleasing

7:31

the kids 24 hours a day? What if I'm not taking

7:34

care of them? What if someone judges

7:36

me for that? There's also the overall

7:38

anxiety. You know, some of us struggle

7:40

with anxiety more than others, and that

7:43

can also cause some of that mom

7:45

guilt, parental influence,

7:47

the people in our lives. And I said

7:49

parental, but I really do mean like, even familial

7:52

influence and friend influence, depending

7:54

on who's around you, fear

7:57

of judgment, that fear of being

7:59

judged. about the decisions

8:01

that you're making. So there's a lot of things that

8:03

go into it. But notice that I didn't say one

8:05

of the things that really creates this

8:08

universal belief about mom guilt

8:11

is actually doing something to feel guilty

8:13

about. Because we all

8:15

make choices that afterward

8:18

maybe we're not so proud of. We

8:20

all do things as moms that afterward we

8:22

say, you know, I really wish I could

8:24

go back and do that differently. There are moments

8:27

where I may have pangs of guilt

8:30

because I've made a choice that wasn't

8:32

really the best or

8:34

that wasn't showing my best.

8:36

You know, I feel that sometimes if I get really impatient

8:39

with my children, especially my son, and

8:41

afterward I do have that guilt because I

8:43

do feel that I've wronged

8:46

him. And I do feel like I've shown up in

8:48

a way that is not the way that

8:50

I wanna show up for my children as a mom. And

8:52

so what I do then is rectify

8:54

that. That isn't something that I need to

8:57

carry with me everywhere I go. That

8:59

is I felt the guilt because

9:02

of something that I did and therefore

9:04

I was able to rectify it both with myself

9:06

and with my son or the other person involved and

9:09

now it's done and over with. I don't need to carry

9:11

that guilt with me as like

9:13

this badge of honor of

9:15

how good of a mom I am. Because if I was a really

9:18

good mom I would carry that everywhere I went. And

9:20

that's also a whole other separate

9:22

conversation about forgiving ourselves, okay?

9:25

The real culprit that I've seen,

9:28

and again this is all my opinion, like I'm not doing

9:31

research on this but I have tens of thousands

9:33

of students and I've been around the mom block for

9:35

a long time. So what I've seen is

9:37

that the real culprit is the perpetual

9:40

messaging and conditioning that

9:42

says your needs and desires

9:44

as a mother are less important than

9:46

those of everyone else. Plain and simple.

9:49

Because really what it comes down to is no

9:51

matter what decision you make it's

9:54

perceived as wrong to someone. So

9:58

let's use the famous example. of

10:00

stay-at-home moms versus working

10:02

moms. And I do

10:05

not do the versus. What I'm

10:07

talking about is the societal

10:09

way that we talk about that, right? We pit ourselves

10:12

against each other. We have the stay-at-home

10:14

moms on one side and the working

10:17

moms on another. Well, first of all, all

10:19

moms work in some way, shape or form,

10:21

so we don't even need to be talking

10:24

about working versus not

10:26

working because we're all working in one way or another.

10:29

But even the way that we do that, there's

10:32

guilt on both sides or

10:34

we force guilt on both sides. Or

10:37

we say if you're not feeling guilty, you're probably not

10:39

a great mom. Don't you feel so

10:41

guilty that you don't contribute to your household's

10:43

income? You stay at home, don't

10:45

you feel guilty about that? And

10:48

then on the other side, don't you feel guilty that

10:50

you're not raising your own children?

10:53

Don't you feel guilty that they're staying

10:55

home with a nanny, that they go to

10:57

a babysitter, that your spouse

11:00

stays home? Don't you feel guilty about that?

11:02

And we don't always use those words. Sometimes

11:06

those words are like, it's not don't you feel

11:08

guilty for, but

11:10

wow, doesn't it feel weird for you that

11:12

you don't contribute to your household income? Or

11:15

we might say things like, oh, must be nice,

11:17

must be nice to do that. And those

11:20

overall things that we say, we're really pitting

11:22

ourselves against each other. And then that's

11:25

creating this world where it really

11:27

doesn't matter what choice you make, because

11:30

eventually someone will come along to make you feel like you should probably feel

11:32

guilty for that, meaning your needs and

11:34

desires, your situation, your

11:37

what you want, your basic needs are

11:39

really not as important as everyone

11:41

else's. Because if they were important,

11:44

then you wouldn't need to feel guilty about it. But

11:46

you deciding to maybe go

11:48

see a friend, you deciding

11:51

to start a business, even though you have young children,

11:54

you deciding to stay home and

11:56

not have the career that you were going to have, because

11:58

that's the best choice for your family. Well,

12:00

it's not as important as everyone else's choices

12:03

or everyone else's needs and desires

12:05

such as your children

12:05

or your spouse, right?

12:07

That's really what that says. When

12:09

we get down to the nitty-gritty of what mom guilt

12:12

is, it's rooted in that conditioning.

12:15

Now let's talk

12:17

about something. Let's

12:20

talk about the idea of dad

12:22

guilt, okay?

12:24

I had someone sent me an email. It

12:26

was an email or a message. I can't

12:29

quite remember. It was like a year or so ago.

12:32

And they sent it to me in response to

12:34

something that I had said about mom

12:36

guilt. And it was from a dad letting

12:38

me know that dads feel guilt too. And

12:41

it was sort of this, you know, I know that you talk

12:43

about this. And I know, you know, my

12:45

wife or partner, I can't

12:47

really remember. You know, she really likes

12:49

her podcasts and stuff and sometimes we listen together.

12:52

And I think that that's awesome, by the way. I think that's amazing.

12:55

And I just want to let you know that like dads feel guilt

12:57

too. And then he went down this whole thing about how

12:59

they never talk about dad guilt. No one's ever talking

13:01

about dad guilt.

13:02

Okay.

13:03

It's not the same. There,

13:06

I said it. There, I said it. And I put a period

13:08

at the end of the sentence. It is not the

13:10

same. Do you know why it's not the same? Because

13:12

it's not conditioned and

13:15

woven into the fabric of

13:17

how you parent. It is

13:19

so not ubiquitous that even the term

13:22

dad guilt doesn't even roll off the tune. It's

13:25

not even something that universally

13:27

we accept. Do we accept that dad's

13:29

feel guilty? Absolutely. Any person,

13:32

any human being on this earth is

13:34

capable of feeling guilt. I've talked

13:37

to my own husband about this. And

13:39

he said more than anything, any

13:41

guilt he's ever felt has been around working

13:43

a lot. So when he was building his business and working quite

13:46

a bit, that was really the only thing he felt

13:48

guilty about. But feeling guilty

13:50

about going out with his buddies and getting a beer? Never.

13:54

Is he ever asked if he feels

13:56

guilty about anything in fatherhood? He said not

13:59

one thing. time in the 14 plus

14:01

years of being a dad, has he ever been asked

14:03

that? I've now had this conversation with other

14:06

dads and they also

14:08

have said the same thing. So do dads feel

14:11

guilt over certain aspects

14:13

of parenthood? Absolutely, and I am not

14:15

discounting that. But also, let's

14:18

let moms have a conversation about themselves

14:20

without needing to center dads in the conversation

14:23

as well because this is a real

14:25

issue for moms and

14:28

this is something that they need to work through and also

14:30

this is the Mother Like a Boss podcast. And

14:33

that's how I feel about that. And I know that there are

14:35

some people out there who may not like

14:37

that. But

14:39

I don't want us to be always saying,

14:41

yeah, but, but dads feel it too.

14:44

Not in the universal way. It's not even something

14:46

we talk about. It's not even something that

14:48

gets brought up in conversations. The

14:51

fact that when I leave to go

14:54

on a trip back, you know, when you went on trips

14:56

and such, but when I did,

14:58

you know, two to three times a year or more,

15:00

I would go on different business trips, travel

15:02

to masterminds and conferences and just

15:05

business stuff in general. And

15:07

I got asked almost every single

15:09

time, who's home with the kids? Oh,

15:12

I bet you missed your kids. Oh, it must

15:14

be so hard to leave. And

15:16

all of the things that had to do with that, right? My

15:19

husband never gets that. When he goes away

15:22

on a 14 day trip that he does most years,

15:24

hasn't last year, that didn't last year

15:26

because of everything that was going on. But

15:28

when he does that, not a single person. And we've

15:30

had open conversations about this. And he said,

15:33

no one ever asks who's with my children.

15:35

No one ever asks if I feel guilty. No

15:38

one ever even indicates that there

15:40

is an issue. And that right there

15:42

is the difference right there. It

15:45

is not the same conversation and it is not

15:47

the same. And so I wanted

15:49

to tackle that because it has come

15:51

up. It's come up for me when

15:54

certain men or dads

15:56

have reached out to me to say, you

15:58

really should have a conversation about that. Well,

16:00

you can have a conversation about that with other dads

16:03

and you can have that conversation about what that

16:05

means and have that conversation

16:07

publicly, but I'm also not a dad so I can't

16:10

speak to that. I'm only speaking to the

16:12

moms because I am a mom and I'm

16:14

more of an expert on being a mom than I am a dad,

16:16

right? So the

16:18

thing that I've also found is that

16:20

it's sort of like a snake eating its own

16:23

tail at this point, this idea of it just

16:25

being a loop because I don't

16:28

feel mom guilt. I don't

16:30

feel perpetual mom guilt. I don't feel guilty

16:33

for working. I don't feel guilty when I go

16:35

out with my friends. I don't feel guilty when my

16:37

husband, who's half of our marriage and parent to my

16:39

children, stays home or helps. I

16:42

don't feel guilty about anything like that

16:44

ever at all. And that's the line

16:46

I will draw. And I'll say it's exhausting

16:50

feeling like I should feel guilty when

16:52

I don't to try to fit myself into that

16:55

box that it somehow makes me a better

16:57

mother if I feel badly about

17:00

taking care of myself and I refuse to do it anymore,

17:02

which is why the name of this episode is I'm Done

17:05

With Mom Guilt. But the snake

17:07

eating its own tail is that

17:09

we not only

17:11

make

17:12

or perpetuate, I don't even like to

17:14

say make because it takes people's agency away,

17:17

but we perpetuate this idea that moms

17:19

should feel guilty about everything that

17:21

they do. But then also

17:24

when they don't feel guilty, we guilt

17:26

them into that. And so it's just

17:28

this cycle, this perpetual

17:31

cycle of guilt that has

17:33

to stop because these feelings

17:36

are stopping moms from actually

17:38

realizing their truest potential,

17:41

happiness, joy, freedom, not

17:43

having to be a martyr, not having to be in control

17:45

of everything, taking care of themselves, taking

17:47

care of their basic needs, going after

17:50

what they want. These

17:52

conversations that aren't being had and

17:54

this perpetuation and conditioning that

17:57

keeps happening around mom guilt is preventing

17:59

moms from just doing

18:02

things that basic needs. And

18:05

I also can't even get started because it

18:07

would be three other episodes

18:09

worth of stuff of how privilege

18:12

plays into this as well. Because when

18:14

we say things like, you

18:17

know, you should be staying home with your baby.

18:22

If that's your belief, that's great. You can stay home with

18:24

your babies. But you have no idea the reason

18:26

that somebody else needs to work. You have no idea

18:28

what her situation is. You have no

18:30

idea what her financial situation is, what

18:33

her marital situation is, what her

18:35

non-marital situation is. You don't know any

18:38

of that. And so making these blanket

18:40

statements about working or

18:42

staying home, the same thing. I've heard

18:45

it and I went off on

18:47

Instagram in another salty,

18:50

it was like salty Sunday with Kendra about,

18:54

you know, I'm seeing it on the other end of

18:57

in this modern era saying that,

18:59

you know, stay at home moms are being,

19:02

you know, they're forced into this. You have no idea

19:04

why a woman stays home. You have no idea

19:06

why she decided to. You don't know what

19:08

their situation is. Again, what their financial situation

19:10

is, what her needs and desires

19:13

are, her background. We

19:15

don't know any of that. And

19:17

so unless you know her on a personal level and know

19:19

every single thing about her life, perpetuating

19:22

this guilt is it comes a lot of times

19:25

with a level of privilege because

19:27

there are certain situations where people don't

19:29

have that choice. They weren't given that choice

19:32

that you may have been given. And

19:34

so forcing this guilt onto somebody

19:37

else is really a very

19:39

privileged place to come from. Okay, which is

19:41

really a conversation we should be having anyway, when

19:44

it comes to motherhood is how much

19:46

privilege, especially

19:47

white privilege plays into this because it

19:49

absolutely does.

19:51

I really just refuse now to let

19:54

the ubiquitous narrative that women

19:56

should adhere to strict gender rules

19:58

at all times. and make their children their

20:01

entire life, rule my decisions.

20:04

I just, I can no longer let

20:07

that rule my decisions. I

20:10

love being a mother. I love

20:12

it. I love so many

20:14

things about it. I won't even say I love everything about it, because

20:18

listen, there are certain things about it

20:20

that aren't great, right? There are certain things about it that

20:22

are tough, that are hard. But

20:25

I love being a mom more than I

20:27

love anything else in this world, seeing my

20:29

children grow. And

20:31

I love a lot of the aspects. I teach homemaking,

20:34

guys. I love things

20:36

like planning and cooking. I love making

20:38

my home feel comforting and

20:40

safe. I love, I'm getting more into design

20:43

now. I actually enjoy designing things

20:45

in my house and like making it feel comfortable and cozy

20:47

and cute and all those different things. I

20:50

really like those things. I

20:52

enjoyed a lot, but I

20:54

can no longer just let this narrative

20:57

that as a woman, as a

20:59

mother, I'm never allowed

21:02

to put my needs first. I can't let

21:04

that rule my life anymore because it

21:06

is too great a burden. And it is

21:08

unfair to place this burden of

21:11

guilt onto moms simply

21:13

for living their lives. It's

21:16

too great of a burden for us to carry anymore

21:18

so much. So, but I feel like I could cry talking

21:20

about this. This is no way

21:23

to live or to be

21:25

a mom, to enjoy yourself. You are

21:27

worthy of being taken care

21:29

of. You're worthy of making choices that

21:32

fit your life without anyone else's

21:34

input. You are worthy

21:36

of asking for help when you need it. You're

21:38

worthy of deciding that you're a

21:41

person outside of being a mom. You're

21:43

worthy of all of that and you are valid

21:46

in this feeling of perpetual

21:49

mom guilt that we really

21:52

keep placing on each other. And that's where

21:54

I think we have to take responsibility as

21:57

the motherhood community and stop that.

21:59

situation.

24:00

Again, not something we need to judge

24:03

ourselves for. This is just recognizing

24:05

and coming to terms with that and saying, wow, never

24:08

would have thought of that before. I want to

24:10

leave you with a few affirmations because

24:13

I think that these can just be really

24:15

helpful if you're someone that tends

24:17

to have a lot of mom guilt that you're

24:19

working through and I hope this episode has really helped

24:21

you. So I want to leave you with just

24:23

a few affirmations, okay? My

24:26

needs matter. My

24:28

desires are important. Caring

24:32

for myself matters just as much

24:34

as caring for others. My

24:36

decisions are mine to make even

24:39

if others don't agree with them. Now

24:42

there are plenty of others but I think those four

24:45

are really powerful and I want you to try them on

24:47

and see how they work and let me know

24:49

about that, okay? Come again, come on

24:51

to Instagram, follow me at motherlikeaboss

24:54

and let's have a conversation about this. The

24:57

one thing that I do want to say as we wrap

24:59

up here is that you're

25:01

not judged here for feeling mom guilt.

25:04

You're not judged here for anything, for feeling

25:07

anything because your feelings are valid. Remember

25:09

that these feelings of mom guilt are not necessarily

25:11

about you making the wrong choices. They're

25:14

about us being conditioned to

25:16

believe this and conditioning doesn't happen overnight.

25:18

It happens over time and oftentimes

25:21

when we're not even watching or paying attention. It

25:24

happens through culture. It happens through

25:26

our family. It happens through our upbringing. It

25:28

just happens and so now that we know

25:31

it we can start to unlearn

25:33

it and recognize where that conditioning is

25:35

coming from but this is never

25:37

to shame you or say, hey I don't feel

25:39

mom guilt so neither should you. This

25:42

is all of us saying maybe it's time for all of us

25:44

to step up and say I am done with mom guilt. So

25:47

this isn't really about me saying I'm done with mom guilt.

25:49

This is for us collectively to say I am

25:51

done with this because

25:53

again my needs matter. I am important

25:56

and my decisions are valid even

25:58

if you don't agree with them. I

26:00

appreciate all of you so much and I'm so thankful

26:02
