Dear Lorraine, I’ve Got Mum Guilt

The Lorraine Murphy Show

A very important Dear Lorraine episode this week - I’m responding to listener Elke, who says: “I’m thinking about returning to work post baby and I’m struggling with Mum Guilt.”

I’ve taken a wider lens in my response to her, and talked about Mum Guilt more broadly.  

I cover: 

  • The importance of separating out societal-induced Mum Guilt, and our own motherly instincts
  • My two experiences of Mum Guilt 
  • Celebrating yourself as a mum 
  • Women as the “emotional thermometer” of the household 
  • How I pushed myself too hard after having Lexi

I so hope this episode helps to soothe your soul and reinforce your own innate wisdom and worth as a mother.

I see you!
