How To Let Go Of Working Mom Guilt (Ft. Workin’ Moms’ Catherine Reitman)

This week, Aleen sits down with actress Catherine Reitman to chat
all about her comedy series Workin’ Moms and what it’s
like to be a real-life working mom herself. To kick off, Catherine
dives into where she drew her inspiration when creating the show,
including some things she learned about herself along the way. She
also shares her experience with postpartum depression, taking the
first steps to ask for help, and finding a balance transitioning
back to work. Plus, they also talk about what happens when maternal
instinct just doesn’t kick in and why you don’t need to apologize
for it. They run through some listeners questions, including how to
find support as busy moms and Catherine’s favorite (but
also least favorite) part of being a working mom. Finally, it’s
time for a No Mom Guilt from Catherine all about dealing with
work-life balance stress and the shame that comes with not being
there enough for your kids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
