Summary

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we're talking all about mom guilt, dad guilt, and why so many of us as parents feel like we’re never doing enough. From missing pajama day to working late, social media comparison, feeding choices, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. This episode gets honest about the emotional weight so many of us carry, and why dads often experience parenting guilt very differently. It’s funny, chaotic, validating, and a reminder that your kids probably won’t remember the thing you’re still beating yourself up over.
