In this eye-opening episode, we speak with Belinda Jane Batt, an accredited positive psychology coach and maternal guilt expert who's both researching the phenomenon while living through it as a mother of two.
After 20 years in PR and marketing, Belinda's perspective transformed when she became a mother in 2016.
Now, she's challenging the systems that weaponise guilt against working mothers through her research and book, "Challenge Your Guilt: How to Flourish in Motherhood, Work and Life" (Spring 2025).
In this episode we explore:
The biological roots of maternal guilt and how it's exploited in modern society
Why the "have it all" narrative fails without systemic
How to recognise achievements and counter negative thinking patterns
Strategies for involving partners and workplaces in reducing the maternal guilt burden


Perfect for any mother who's ever rushed to be first in the school pickup line or felt torn between professional ambition and family responsibilities. This conversation offers both validation and actionable strategies to break free from the guilt trap and advocate for meaningful change.
