Alex is back this week!

We had planned to discuss money-saving parenting hacks, but instead found ourselves unpacking why mothers create unnecessary complexity when away from our children.

From triple-checking with capable caregivers to rushing back early when everyone's fine, we explore the psychology behind our self-imposed time limits and the freedom waiting on the other side of mother-guilt.

What you'll gain from this episode:

• Recognition of your own "maternal compensation" patterns
• Strategies to combat the guilt of being away
• Permission to enjoy the mental spaciousness that comes with distance
• Practical steps to simplify your time away
• Understanding how your wholeness as a person benefits your children more than constant presence

We'd love to hear how you navigate time away.
