Why Moms Feel Guilty Saying No (Even When They’re Overloaded) (Ep 43)
Hey Mama
If you’ve ever tried to set boundaries as a mom and ended up caving, over-explaining, or feeling guilty, this episode is for you.
Boundaries are supposed to protect your time and energy, but for most moms, they trigger mom guilt, overwhelm, and the pressure to keep saying yes — even when you’re exhausted. That’s why boundaries feel so hard in motherhood.
In this episode, we’re unpacking:
Why saying no makes moms feel guilty (even when you’re already overwhelmed)
The difference between rules and boundaries in motherhood
How mom guilt and people-pleasing drain your energy
Why over-explaining weakens your boundaries
Simple boundary scripts for exhausted moms who want to protect their energy
How to stop being the default parent who says yes to everything
Because mama — you’re not a bad mom for struggling with boundaries. You’re an overloaded mom carrying the invisible mental load. And you deserve to stop people-pleasing, put down the plates that aren’t yours, and finally protect your space without the guilt trip.
Quick win: By the end of this episode, you’ll have one clear sentence you can use today to set a boundary that sticks , and it won’t make you feel like a bad mom.
RESOURCES MENTIONED:
Guilt Loop Workshop
In this workshop, we’re breaking down the sneaky cycle of mom guilt—the one that makes you feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough. You’ll learn why guilt keeps showing up (even when you’re doing your best), how to spot it before it spirals, and a simple method to step out of the loop and back into calm.
This is a practical, real-talk reset for the woman who’s tired of carrying guilt like it’s her part-time job. You’ll walk away with tools you can use the next time guilt pops up—without adding more to your to-do list.
