You're not a bad mom if you're doing this.

I help stay-at-home moms overcome their fear about getting back into the workforce.

Because going back to work is so much more than just finding a job.

Reader let’s talk about the guilt that shows up when you actually start to enjoy working again. That little voice that says, “If I’m happy at work… am I neglecting my kids?”

I used to wrestle with that one hard. I enjoyed being at work (for the most part😉) but part of me felt like somehow that meant I wasn't being the best mom. It's a tough feeling to reconcile.

It took me a while, but here’s what I’ve learned:

Enjoying your work can teach your kids what fulfillment looks like. They don’t just learn from what we say. They watch how we live. When they see us light up doing something we love, they learn that joy and purpose are allowed.
Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Transitions are bumpy. Kids might act out, you might second-guess. But growth (for both of you) always comes with a little stretch and that's o.k.
Change the question. Instead of “Am I neglecting my kids?” try “How might this benefit my family?” That small shift opens space for truth.

If you struggle with this, I'm here to support you.

In your corner, always,
