On Guilt with Jo Wimble-Groves

Author: Danusia Malina-Derben November 9, 2024 Duration: 13:26

Guilt—it's the nagging companion of parenthood. Jo Wimble-Groves, creator of Guilty Mother, joins host Danusia Malina-Derben to unpack why so many parents feel this way and how to start shifting that guilt into something useful (yes, it's possible!).

 

From screen time to sandwich choices, Jo's refreshing take on embracing imperfection and rethinking what it means to care will leave you feeling lighter. If you're tired of feeling like you're never doing enough, this episode offers some much-needed relief.

 

Tune in to discover why guilt doesn't equal love and why it's time to put down the "perfect parent" yardstick!

Danusia Malina-Derben hosts Parents Who Think, a podcast built on the premise that thoughtful disagreement is more valuable than easy consensus. As an entrepreneur, author, and mother of ten, she facilitates candid conversations that deliberately challenge the comfortable assumptions and unspoken rules of modern parenthood. Each episode features intelligent parents from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, engaging in no-holds-barred debates on crucial dilemmas. The discussions are raw and unfiltered, offering listeners a range of perspectives that often exist outside mainstream parenting narratives. This isn't about finding a single right answer but about illuminating the complex, often hard realities of raising children. Whether your own views are conventional or more marginalized, this podcast provides a rare space for genuine intellectual friction. You'll hear nuanced arguments that prioritize thinking over dogma, inviting you to examine your own choices more deeply. The goal is clarity, not comfort, making it an essential listen for anyone who believes parenting deserves more than a recycled script. Tune in for conversations that interrupt the status quo, acknowledging that agreement is not the point-rigorous, compassionate thought is.
