When Your Inner Critic Won’t Quit: Ego, Shame and the ‘Good Mom’ Story
Ever second-guess a tiny decision—a T‑shirt, a snack, a social post—because you’re worried what other moms will think?
In this episode, Kelli shares a hilarious T‑shirt moment that exposes something much deeper: how ego, image, and motherhood intertwine to shape who we believe we are. Drawing on insights from Eckhart Tolle, Lao Tzu, and Christian spiritual wisdom, she unpacks how the “Good Mom” story quietly controls our choices and feeds an inner critic that never seems satisfied.
You’ll explore:
- How ego uses image, labels, and “brand” to protect you from shame
- Why moms often curate their personalities to fit what feels acceptable
- What spiritual teachers say about the false self vs. true self
- How faith invites you to live from belovedness instead of performance
This conversation blends humor, honesty, and spiritual depth to help you notice where ego is running the show—and imagine a freer, more authentic way to show up as a mom and as yourself.
If you’re tired of overthinking everything and want permission to be your whole, quirky, God-loved self, this episode is for you.
