Mum Rage, Mum Guilt: Breaking the Loop
Wednesday, 22 July, 2026
You snap. Then you spiral. Sound familiar?This week Shelley and Katherine are getting real about the loop so many mums get stuck in, the rage that shows up out of nowhere, followed by the guilt that eats you alive after. We're breaking down why this cycle exists, why it's so much bigger than "just being tired," and what's actually happening in your body and your life that's fuelling it.We talk about the invisible load of motherhood, the stuff no one sees you carrying until you finally crack, and we go there on what partners are often missing, not because they don't care, but because no one's shown them what to look for.If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself in the fog of postpartum, or you're years in and still feel foggy, this episode is for you. We're not here to add more guilt to the pile. We're here to normalise it, validate it, and hand you real tools to start climbing out.You are not broken. You are depleted. Let's talk about it.This episode is proudly sponsored by:✨ All Things Better – A carefully curated online wellness store bringing together the best in natural products, home essentials, and feel-good finds.
