“Venting & Feeling MOM GUILT”

🎙️ Episode 7: Let’s Talk About It… Venting & Feeling Mom Guilt Sometimes, all a mom needs is a safe place to vent. In this episode of What the Motherhood?!, Jacq opens up about something so many moms silently carry: the guilt of feeling like there’s never enough of her to go around. She shares what it’s like trying to give each of her kids the one-on-one time they deserve while balancing the nonstop demands of everyday life. The heartbreak of making promises with every intention of keeping them, only to have life get in the way. The guilt of saying, “We’ll do it tomorrow,” and watching tomorrow turn into next week. We talk about the emotional weight of overpromising and underdelivering—not because we don’t love our children, but because we’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing the best we can with what we have. If you’ve ever felt guilty for canceling plans with your kids, missing a special moment, or wondering if you’re giving enough of yourself, this conversation will remind you that you’re not the only one carrying those feelings. This episode isn’t about being the perfect mom. It’s about being an honest one. Because sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is knowing we’re not alone. 🎙️ What the Motherhood?!Real Moms. Real Talk. Real Life.For the moms barely holding it together. ❤️

“We’re done, so why can’t I let go?”

Moving on isn’t as easy as people make it seem. You go on dates, you try to open yourself up… but it just doesn’t feel the same. No spark. No connection like you had with your child’s father. So instead of forcing it, you pull back… you ignore the texts, leave them on read, and question if you’re even ready.This episode dives into that in-between space—where you’re trying to move on, but a part of you is still holding on.
