Worthy Mother Podcast
Being a mom is hard — and not because you’re not good enough. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing or struggling under the weight of guilt and overwhelm, you are not alone. Worthy Mother Podcast is here to validate your experience, challenge the unrealistic expectations placed on moms, and remind you that you are worthy exactly as you are.
Hosted by Emily Rose, a certified Motherhood Studies Practitioner and mom of two, this podcast explores the realities of modern motherhood, mental health, mom guilt, societal pressures, self-care, and the importance of connection. Through honest conversations with real moms and expert guests — along with solo episodes that dig deep into what makes motherhood so complicated — you’ll find validation, support, and the reminder that it’s not just you; it’s the system.
