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.

In this episode , I welcome the remarkable Susan May—author, mother of four, and grandmother of eight—as she shares the deeply moving story of her youngest son's battle with congenital heart defects and his life-saving heart transplant at just two years old. With warmth, humor, and unwavering strength, Susan walks us through the highs and heartbreaks of raising a medically fragile child, the decisions no parent ever wants to face, and how love was the guiding force through it all.
She reminds us of what really matters as moms: loving our children unconditionally. Susan also shares about her book Nick’s New Heart: 30 Years and Counting, a memoir that tells not just her son’s medical journey, but the story of a family determined to stay together and thrive.
If you’ve ever faced the fear of the unknown with your child—or love a story of fierce motherhood and miraculous outcomes—this one’s for you.
Susan May’s love affair with books began when she made a bad grade in math in the sixth grade. Not allowed to watch TV until she brought the grade up, Susan filled her time with books. She turned her love of reading into a love of writing.
Her book Nick’s New Heart 30 Years and Counting…is about her son’s heart transplant experience. Additional nonfiction books she has published are Daily Inspirations from The Unflappable Substitute about her 20 years in the public school system and a historical biography called A WWII Flight Surgeon’s Story is available under S. Carlisle May.
Writing as Susan Carlisle she has completed more than 35 books for HarperCollins’s Harlequin medical imprint. Her heroes are strong, vibrant man and the woman that challenge them. She has independently published a number of romances as well.
She lives in Georgia with her husband of over 40 years. They have four grown children and eight grandchildren. Susan loves castles, traveling, cross-stitching and reads voraciously.
