Rebecca and parenting expert Dr. Laura Froyen explore the stories we've been told about motherhood, career, and what it means to be a \"good mum\". Together they unpack the research, challenge common beliefs, and share practical ways to parent with more confidence and far less guilt. In this episode, we unpack: The difference between true guilt and the guilt you've inherited from society. What research actually says about working mums and child development. Why presence matters more than the number of hours you spend with your kids. How modelling self-care helps your children far more than self-sacrifice. Simple ways to build stronger connection while balancing career and family.
