“Let The Guilt Go”: Lou Beckett on the Lie That You’re Failing in Motherhood
Over deze aflevering
If you feel like you’re failing at motherhood… this is the reframe you need. In this powerful Motherkind Moment, Zoe sits down with Lou Beckett, author of The Sunday Times Bestseller, Lessons from A Default Parent and wife of Comedian, Rob Beckett, to unpack something so many mothers feel but rarely say out loud - the constant pressure to be a “good” mum and the quiet belief that we’re not quite measuring up. Lou shares how she started motherhood feeling like she was failing and how that feeling stayed with her for years. Not because she was doing anything wrong, but because she cared so deeply about getting it right. 💡 In this Moment, you’ll learn: Why feeling like you’re failing is often a sign that you care deeply How comparison and constant advice are fuelling pressure and self-doubt Why you can’t “high-achieve” motherhood - and what to aim for instead A simple but powerful mindset shift to help you let go of guilt If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough…If you’ve ever compared yourself to other mums and come up short…If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting time, space, or something for yourself… This one is for you.
