Welcome back to Wine Down Wednesdays. This week, Suneera shares a recent poll she asked on IG stories about mom guilt. The overwhelming response? We all feel it. In this episode, you'll learn how mom guilt is physiologically wired into our brains because society, since the Neanderthal times to today, identifies mothers as the ones responsible for the nurturing of children. Suneera shares her personal experience with mom guilt while she grew her technology company, and the importance of accepting that no matter how much you are doing, feeling guilt is normal. Find your village, whatever that looks like, create your goals together, and support each other.
