Kite App – Guilt be Gone: Dealing with Mum Guilt...

        Real talk this week focuses on and around a subject close to my heart: mum guilt and that feeling that you aren’t enough.
       So, raise your hand if you have suffered or are suffering from this, sometimes, overwhelming experience. Go on, don’t be shy! I do! Absolutely!
       I have been lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to test out an amazing Australian app for mamas called The Kite Program, the first personal development app in the world (!) designed for mums by an extraordinary one, the talented Hannah Hardy-Jones.
       The first kite for me: Guilt be Gone; a mini program (or Kite) focuses on working through all things mum guilt by the way of completing one exercise per day until the Kite is finished. I have been journaling my answers and thoughts so I have a record to reflect back on at a later time. Am I the only one who re-reads their journal every now and then? Oh my gosh, don’t answer that!
       What are your main issues and triggers around this subject? For me it is the serious FOMO (fear of missing out) of not being able to drop off and collect my son from school myself due to my work load, that dark dreaded feeling that I’m not enough, and my perception that I am a “part-time mum”.
       It was so cathartic for me to write out how and what I felt, just in the moment, and completing this first exercise as truthfully as I could. I’m excited to see what tomorrow’s exercise is!
       I love this app and also the mindfulness button: quick activities that can be done on-the-go for the busiest of mums. I am trying to savor these mindfulness activities to one per day and not rush through them! Clearly I am a huge fan.
