Listen "Is Daycare Raising My Kids? Managing Mom Guilt & Anxiety"
Episode Synopsis
One of the hardest questions a working mom can ask herself is, "Is daycare raising my child?" The anxiety and guilt that come with dropping off your little one every morning can be overwhelming. Are they spending more time with their daycare provider than with you? Will they still see you as their primary caregiver? Are you missing out on important milestones? In this episode, we have a real, honest conversation about the emotional struggles that so many moms face when balancing work and childcare. The guilt is real, but so is the need to provide for our families, maintain our careers, and, for some, find fulfillment outside of motherhood. We’ll discuss: ✅ The emotional impact of daycare drop-offs and how to cope with separation anxiety ✅ The fear of missing milestones and special moments ✅ The guilt of feeling like you’re not present enough—and why you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself ✅ Tips for strengthening your bond with your child, even when you spend time apart 💬 We want to hear from you!
