Not all mom guilt is shame, and not all of it is bad. This week we’re breaking down the real difference between guilt, shame, and conviction: guilt says I did something wrong, shame says I am something wrong, and conviction is the Holy Spirit's nudge toward change. We talk about what it looks like to make things right with your kids, why conviction always gives you a way out while shame just locks you in, and I get honest about my own struggle with phone time and doom scrolling and share a simple practice for naming a lie, tracing it, and replacing it with truth.
