02. Unpacking Working Mom Guilt with Former Google Exec Erika Gerdes

Ever heard a message so good you wanted to replay it over and over again? Well...that's today's episode!

Even executives who appear to have it all together struggle with the same working mom guilt that many women are conflicted with. In today's episode, we're talking with former Google Global Executive, Erika Gerdes about the hidden layers of working mom guilt. 

Among my favorite truth bombs she drops are the following quotes: 

"What we are calling mom guilt is not guilt at all. It's shame... Guilt is what allows us to make a slightly different decision. Shame is what keeps us going and never stopping."

"So much of what motivates us is continuing to do more and be more... when we do more, when we become more, then we will be enough."

"We're running away from failure... we're running away from being seen for what we fear we actually are, that we're failures, that we're mediocre, that we're replaceable."

Buckle up - this is going to be a ride to remember. But a necessary journey to walk through in order to gain confidence as working moms.
