Guilt is a natural human emotion that can serve as a tool for self-improvement and growth. It is important to acknowledge and learn from feelings of guilt rather than dwell on them.

Taking care of oneself is crucial for overall well-being and effective parenting. Fill your own cup first to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy relationship with your children.

Quality moments with your children, whether through simple activities or meaningful conversations, are more important than the quantity of time spent together. Prioritize creating a safe and empowering environment for your children.

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
"Communication is key. There are some times when maybe I couldn't make my children's school event or sports event. And for some reason I felt, oh gosh, I felt a lot of relief when I was able to say to my child, sweetheart, I'm so sorry."
"The moment you first of all let go of that perfectionism, that's a very good step."
"Be mindful of the things you focus on. If you are feeling that guilt, that's fine. Lean into it and learn from it."
