<p>In this episode of Made Possible by Parenthood, Lindsay and Charlie dive into one of the most universally felt emotions in parenting—guilt. But rather than accepting guilt as an inevitable weight of parenthood, they explore whether it might actually be pointing us toward something deeper.</p><p>Through personal stories, reflection, and a surprising perspective from the Dalai Lama, they unpack:</p><p> • Why guilt and parenthood have become inseparable in modern culture.</p><p> • The difference between guilt, remorse, and regret—and why that distinction matters.</p><p> • How guilt can act as a distraction from deeper emotions like uncertainty and pain.</p><p> • The surprising ways guilt keeps us stuck and how to shift our relationship with it.</p><p> • Practical ways to question, reframe, and move through guilt with more intention and self-compassion.</p><p>Is guilt really an unavoidable part of parenting? Or can it be an invitation to greater self-awareness, connection, and choice? Tune in for a conversation that just might shift your perspective on the stories we tell ourselves about guilt.</p><p>👉 <strong>Follow us on Instagram</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madepossiblebyparenthood" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MadePossibleByParenthood</a> for more conversations and updates!</p><p><strong>Insightful Quotes from the Episode:</strong></p><p>📌 “Guilt can feel like this huge, puffed-up balloon that takes up all the space. But when you pop it, you realize there’s room for kindness, for connection, for actually seeing what your child needs.”</p><p>📌 “We think we have to carry guilt because it makes us a ‘real parent.’ But what if it’s just a broad brushstroke we’ve accepted without questioning?”</p><p>📌 “There’s a wisdom in feeling the ouch, the pain, the remorse—because that’s where real change happens. Guilt alone just keeps us stuck.”</p><p>📌 “We keep trying to solve parenting like a math equation, as if we can balance all the choices perfectly to eliminate guilt. But life isn’t an equation—it’s an ocean, and we have to learn which waves to ride.”</p><p>📌 “What if we questioned our guilt before accepting it? Is this really mine to hold? Is there something else underneath it that I actually need to pay attention to?”</p>

<p>In this episode of Made Possible by Parenthood, we sit down with Bobby Davis, a self-described “mischief ripple maker for change,” to explore her unconventional path through parenthood. From stepping into the role of a stepmother in her mid-20s while serving in the military to raising her own daughter and now embracing grandparenthood, Bobby shares a deeply personal and refreshingly honest account of what it means to lead, love, and let go.</p><p>We dive into:</p><p> • The evolution from survival-mode parenting to building deep connections.</p><p> • How stepping into a ready-made family shaped Bobby’s approach to leadership and care.</p><p> • The tension between structure and softness—especially for high-achievers.</p><p> • The power of embracing our own unique parenting path, free from comparison.</p><p> • Why missteps, mistakes, and even a little mischief are essential to the journey.</p><p>Bobby’s wisdom is a powerful reminder that there is no one “right way” to do this—only our way. Join us for an inspiring conversation about love in its most real, raw, and resilient form.</p>
