Do you ever (or constantly) feel like a bad mom? Do you:
Find yourself yelling more than you want and beating yourself up about it later?
Say yes when you want to say no because you feel bad about something?
Spend hours replaying interactions with your kids, wishing you’d handled things differently?
Compare yourself to other moms and wish you could be more like them?
Feel like whatever decision you make with your kids is the wrong one?
You might be experiencing mom guilt.
Guilt is one of the heaviest emotions we can feel, and most of us think it’s just something we have to live with.
Guilt keeps us from enjoying the present moment with our kids. It keeps us living in the past and that’s not where our power is.
Don’t let mom guilt continue to affect your self-confidence and inner happiness or take you away from enjoying your life and family.
If you’re ready to kick mom guilt to the curb, check out the mom guilt resources page.
If you are happy with every aspect of your life, household, parenting and relationship then feel free to keep on scrolling.
But if there is even the smallest part of you that wishes your #momlife had a little less chaos and guilt then stick around to learn about Increase Your Peace, a coaching program I have developed to help moms release their guilt and truly live in their peace!
You deserve to live a life that you don't want to escape from.

In this episode, I welcome Meera Ishaya—Ashai monk, author, and mother—for a beautiful conversation about the power of presence and the choice we all have between peace and pain. Meera shares how her journey from chaos to calm began with learning to prioritize stillness, simplicity, and self-care, even in the midst of motherhood.
We talk about what it means to know yourself beyond thoughts, emotions, and sensations, how chronic pain and emotional overwhelm are often symptoms of unconscious patterns, and why curiosity—not judgment—is the secret to deeper awareness. Meera also offers a powerful yet simple breath reset practice you can do in under a minute.
This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to wait for quiet to find peace—you can create it in the middle of your day, your parenting, your life.
Meera is an Ishaya monk, published author and meditation teacher who specializes in helping people go beyond pain and suffering to directly experience peace of mind and a healthy body.
She has written three books ‘Peace or Pain’, ‘Surrender is good for the Soul’, and ‘Peace or Pain Workbook and Journal’, and is working on her next book about healing generational relationships.
Meera is a wife, a mother, a lover of art, and enjoys reading, gardening and exploring nature.
