Parenting Guilt

Parenting Guilt

Author: Kristina Kuzmic April 14, 2026 Duration: 44:16
In this episode, Kristina talks about one of the heaviest things so many parents, especially moms, carry: guilt. The constant feeling that you’re not doing enough, not being enough, or completely screwing up. She unpacks how to tell the difference between guilt that can guide us and guilt that just drains us, why prioritizing ourselves is actually healthy for our kids, and how to start letting go of that suffocating guilt feeling. This is the conversation every ”guilty” parent needs.

You'll find a genuine sense of community in Hope & Humor Video Podcast, where Kristina Kuzmic hosts conversations that feel like a deep breath of fresh air. This isn't about presenting a perfect life; it's about the real, often messy work of raising kids, nurturing relationships, and remembering to care for yourself in the process. Kristina brings her signature blend of heartfelt honesty and disarming humor to every discussion, whether she's facilitating a recorded live support group or sitting down for a candid talk with a guest who has truly been through it. These are people who have struggled, loved, lost, and grown, sharing their stories without pretense. Tuning into this podcast feels like grabbing coffee with a friend who gets it-one who offers practical guidance without judgment and finds the laughter hidden in the daily chaos. It’s that specific mix of hope and humor that makes the challenges of parenting and personal growth feel more manageable and far less lonely. You can expect episodes that are both refreshingly uplifting and grounded in the realities of family life, all delivered with Kristina's relatable and encouraging voice.
