From the moment we become mothers, society teaches us that sacrifice equals good parenting. But what if the greatest gift we could give our children isn't our sacrifice, but our self-respect?
Mum guilt is the silent saboteur that convinces women they're selfish for prioritising their own health. Drawing from my personal journey of raising three small children while running a business, I've experienced firsthand how this guilt creates a destructive cycle - one where we believe our worth comes from constant doing rather than simply being. This mindset doesn't just harm us - it places an unbearable burden on our children, making them feel responsible for our declining health and happiness.
Many mothers tell me they'll focus on themselves "when the kids are older" or "when they need me less." But this thinking reveals the truth: it's not about time, it's about permission. When we examine our daily choices honestly, most of us spend hours scrolling through social media while claiming we can't find twenty minutes for a walk. This isn't a time management problem - it's a priority crisis.
The reality is startling: health isn't a luxury accessory to life - it's the foundation everything else rests upon. We work diligently for mortgages, holidays, and possessions, but what value do these have if we lack the energy to enjoy them? By treating our wellbeing as optional, we're gambling with the very resource that makes everything else possible.
Consider what message your choices send. When you model self-neglect as virtue, you teach your children the same harmful patterns. Alternatively, when you prioritize your health, you give them freedom from future struggles with confidence and body image. You show them that healthy living isn't punishment but normal, empowering, and sustainable.
