Ever feel that pang of guilt when you finally score a kid-free getaway with girlfriends? How about when you go away to a conference and that means missing your son's trumpet solo? Big confession. I recently went to a conference and missed my kid’s solo. Yep, I felt mom guilt especially while I watched the livestream, but as a mom of three, I knew I was doing my best and that this conference (ironically the Mom 2.0 conference) was a big deal for my book and business. And (further justifications) it wasn't an on-stage solo in front of an audience...it was a Saturday morning classroom solo in front of a teacher. All of this to say, yes, mom guilt still continues to pop up for me when I pick career over family (and it doesn’t even happen a lot!), and yet it's a constant juggle. So imagine this: what if you had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in another country without your family to explore your childhood career dreams? Sounds impossible? Would that make you feel guilty? This episode tackles the monster called "mom guilt."
Enter Alisha Fernandez Miranda, a super-achiever mom of twins who decided to hit pause on her high-powered CEO career at 40. We delve into her story and ask the lingering questions: Does mom guilt ever truly fade? Is self-care a selfish act, or a necessity? Most importantly, can our actions teach our kids valuable life lessons that words simply can't? Tune in to episode 225 for an honest conversation that will empower you to embrace motherhood on your own terms.

In This Episode You Will Uncover:
-How to navigate the guilt of pursuing your own passions as a mom, especially if it means taking time away from your family.
-The importance of role modeling and showing your children how to live a fulfilling life, even if it means taking risks.
-Why it's better to try something and fail than to never try anything at all.
This Episode is Perfect For You If:
-You're a mom who feels stuck in a rut and longs to pursue your own interests.
-You're wondering if it's possible to chase your dreams while still being a good parent.
-You're looking for inspiration to break free from self-doubt and create a life you love.
Key Points:
-Many moms struggle to find inspiration for pursuing their own dreams because the media often portrays women who achieve success without children.
-The guilt of leaving your family can be a major obstacle, but sometimes the risk of not following your dreams is greater.
-By taking action and showing your children how to live a fulfilling life, you can inspire them to do the same.
-It's okay to fail, and in fact, it can be a valuable learning experience.
Taking time for yourself can ultimately make you a better parent.
This episode is brought to you by Fertile Imagination: A Guide for Stretching Every Mom's Superpower for Maximum Impact, which reached the #1 spot as an Amazon bestseller in both the motherhood and women and business categories! Woo hoo! And if this episode deeply resonates with you, then you are definitely invited to read my book, Fertile Imagination! In my humble opinion, I believe double-fisting Alisha's book The What If Year and mine, Fertile Imagination, would make for an epically fun weekend of reading. Dive into Alisha's adventures and live vicariously through a fellow mom, and then turn to my personal framework to help you think about your best first step on getting your imagination fired up about your own adventure!
As I alluded to earlier, this episode tackles the struggle of mom guilt that tugs at our hearts, even when we deserve a getaway or break from adulting! I’ve been there too!
Moreover, I, Melissa, share a vulnerable moment straight from my book, Fertile Imagination, where I spent Sundays unlocking a surprising talent. And guess what? It was totally worth it!
