Okay mamas, this one is FUN—you get my hubby Brian on the pod! 🙌 We’re diving into a hilarious (and kind of eye-opening) story from the first week of school that showed me just how differently moms and dads experience guilt. 

I was over here spiraling with full-on *mom guilt* for missing my son’s first day of kindergarten… meanwhile, Brian casually admits he didn’t feel guilty at all for missing our daughter’s big day. Like, what?! 😂 

So in this episode we’re breaking it all down—why moms carry the emotional load, why dads seem totally unbothered, and what we can actually *learn* from them about letting go of guilt. 

You’ll hear us laugh, tease, and keep it totally real about:

• Why dads often skip the guilt trip altogether  
• How our cultural “codes” shape what we think parenting *should* look like  
• Why trusting our partners (and our kids!) can free us up big time  
• How letting our kids feel their feelings is actually a gift  
• What happens when we stop trying to be everywhere, every time  

This convo is equal parts juicy, lighthearted, and freeing. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by mom guilt, I promise this will leave you laughing and breathing easier.
