Episode notes

We are overusing the term and diagnosis of guilt when we feel guilty. Dr. Becky Kennedy says that guilt is what happens inside of us when we do something outside of our values. We actually call a million other things guilt that are what dr. Becky calls not guilt. So for example if I work outside the home And I go to a event or something where all the moms there do not work in the home Or work inside the home, they have more knowledge about their children's lives than me. That is not guilt because that is not acting outside of my values. Everything i'm doing right now is inside of my Values. What i'm feeling at dinner is something It's something it

Glennon, Abby, and Amanda help us shed guilt through a freeing reframe inspired by a conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy.

Listen to learn: How to know what is true guilt and what is just the uncomfortable ickiness of defying expectations; how to hold boundaries in order to live shamelessly within our own values; and how to maintain empathy by staying with our own emotions instead of internalizing the emotions of others.

Also, we need your help inventing a word for the “not guilt” feeling!
