The Mom Guilt That's Keeping You From Taking Care of Yourself
You finally carved out the time. A workout class, a solo coffee, a bath with the door locked. You showed up for yourself. And then — within about four minutes — the voice showed up too. The laundry isn't done. Did I pack tomorrow's lunch? What kind of mom takes a bath when there are still dishes in the sink? We call it guilt. But in this episode, Krissy makes the case that what most moms are actually feeling isn't guilt at all — and that calling it the wrong name is exactly what keeps us skipping the next class, cutting the bath short, and slowly letting our self-care disappear. In this episode: Why your brain fills with noise the moment you try to get still The four things hiding underneath what moms call "mom guilt" — worry, conditioning, grief, and overwhelm Why the label matters more than you think 3 practical tools to stay present in the moments that are supposed to be yours Why finishing the thing is the most important move you can make This one is honest, warm, and might just change how you think about that voice for good. Come find Krissy at @momidentityproject and tell her — have you ever cut something short because the voice got too loud? Follow the show and leave a 5-star review — it helps more moms find us.

The Mom Health Crisis Nobody Talks About
When did you last go to the doctor for yourself? Not for a sick kid, not a well-child visit — for you. When did you last get a mammogram, a skin check, a physical? When did you last work out for more than 11 minutes before someone needed something? If you just cringed a little, this episode is for you. Krissy gets honest about her own experience scheduling a mammogram around everyone else's life — and what it revealed about how moms are conditioned to put themselves last. This isn't a lecture. It's a real conversation about why self-care feels so impossibly hard when everyone depends on you, and a practical way to start changing that without overhauling your entire life. In this episode: Why becoming a mom rewires you to deprioritize yourself The guilt that shows up the moment you try to take care of yourself — and what it actually means Why waiting for things to "slow down" is keeping you stuck Krissy's 3-tier health framework: one appointment, 10 minutes of movement, and a bare minimum baseline The 10-day movement challenge — and why it works for moms specifically This one is honest, warm, and leaves you with something you can actually do today.

Why Moms Talk Themselves Out of Everything... and How to Stop with Laura Aura
You know that voice in your head? The one that says it's not the right time. That someone else is further along. That you don't have permission to want more than this. It has a name. And today we're finally talking about what to do with it. Laura Aura is back for part two of her conversation with Krissy — and this one is all about mind junk: the internal noise that talks moms out of their best ideas before they even get started. As a mom herself, Laura gets how easy it is to put yourself at the back of the line. And she's here to tell you that it is not making you a better mother. In this episode, Krissy and Laura dig into: What "mind junk" is and why moms are especially prone to it Why putting yourself last isn't a sacrifice — it's a slow drain The "if it's not a hell yes, it's a no" rule and how to use it as a mom How to stop waiting for permission to want what you want 3 gutsy moves any mom can make this week — no overhaul required This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about finally giving yourself permission to take something off. Missed part one? Go back and listen to Laura's full story — she started a business six months pregnant, survived bankruptcy, and built something incredible. This episode picks up right where that one left off.

She Started a Business 6 Months Pregnant, Went Bankrupt, and Built It Anyway with Laura Aura
Have you ever felt like something in your life needs to change — but you keep talking yourself out of it? Maybe it's a job. A relationship. A version of yourself you've been performing for years. You know something's off. But what's on the other side feels terrifying. Today's guest knows that feeling intimately. Laura Aura is a keynote speaker, personal growth coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast. She started her business six and a half months pregnant, navigated bankruptcy, and after 16 years of building something successful — decided to sell it all and start over. In this episode, Laura and Krissy talk about: What it's like to become a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time How Laura survived bankruptcy, a Velcro baby, and a husband who lost his job — all at once The moment she realized her business was done (and what she did about it) Why our bodies know before our brains do when something needs to change The thing so many moms are stuck on: feeling done — but afraid they're not allowed to be This is part one of a two-part conversation. Next week, Laura is coming back to talk about the voice inside your head that talks you out of your best ideas — and how to finally do something about it. If you've ever felt done with something but terrified of what's next, this episode is for you.

The Rules I Stopped Following After Becoming a Mom (And Why Life Got Lighter)
Are you secretly exhausted from trying to be a "good mom" all the time? You love your kids more than anything… but motherhood still feels heavier than it should. The pressure to enjoy every moment, keep everything together, stay productive, and never need help is enough to make any mom feel like she's disappearing. In this episode, I'm sharing the invisible rules I stopped following after becoming a mom — the ones quietly fueling mom guilt, burnout, and identity loss — and how letting them go helped me feel lighter, calmer, and more like myself again. Because motherhood isn't meant to be a performance. And you don't have to earn rest, prove your worth, or pretend this season is easy. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: • The "good mom" expectation that creates constant guilt • Why motherhood feels hard (and why it's not a personal failure) • How to stop disappearing inside your role and feel like a person again If this episode hits home, follow the show so you never miss a conversation like this.

How to Protect Your Sense of Self in Motherhood
Are you slowly disappearing in motherhood… and not even realizing it? You love your kids more than anything—but somewhere between the snack refills, the mental load, and putting everyone else first, you started fading into the background. You're not burned out. You're not in crisis. You just don't feel like a person anymore. That quiet motherhood identity loss is more common than anyone talks about—and it doesn't get fixed by "doing more" or reinventing your whole life. In this episode, I'm sharing how to stop disappearing in the first place and protect your sense of self in small, realistic ways that actually fit mom life. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: • Why motherhood identity loss happens so quietly you don't notice it • The subtle signs you're self-abandoning (that have nothing to do with burnout) • Small, daily practices that protect your sense of self—even with zero free time You deserve to exist inside your life, not just manage it. 💛 Follow the show so you never miss an episode.
