#24 - The (Dog) Mom Guilt No One Talks A...

Jenna Overbaugh
About this episode

In this episode, I share my experience with the type of mom guilt no one really talks about - DOG MOM GUILT.  You'll learn how my relationship with my 2 dogs changed once I had my son, and how I've coped with feelings of guilt and overwhelm related to them.  You'll get the solidarity you need to know you're not alone, and I'll remind you that you're doing great at all of this parenting stuff - even with the dogs - no matter what.
