MOMENT | How to stop guilt in its tracks with Dr Sophie Brock

Over deze aflevering

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This week’s Moment is with the brilliant Dr Sophie Brock. She is a motherhood studies sociologist. She literally has a PhD in motherhood. In this powerful clip, Dr Sophie shares why so much of our guilt isn’t ours at all, but is driven by our societal expectations about what we think we should be doing. And that is where the guilt comes in. The most important thing we have to do with guilt is hold it up to the light - don’t ignore it, don’t push it away -ask yourself do I feel guilty because I stepped out of my own values or is it because I have absorbed these messages about what I think I should be doing? Challenge and question your guilt. It is so powerful to be aware that the majority of our guilt is driven by what we think we should be doing instead of what we really want to be doing. I hope you really love this short clip. You can listen to the clip by clicking above or the full episode here.
