Podcast Episode 355: How to Ditch the Mom Guilt and Imposter Syndrome and Make Something Unforgettable with Lisa Myers
Ever find yourself wondering if the guilt will ever stop? Whether it’s for not breastfeeding, working too much, or simply saying no to your kid’s 47th snack request of the day—you’re not alone. And here’s the thing: that relentless inner voice telling you you’re not doing enough? That’s imposter syndrome in motherhood, and it shows up more often than we realize.
In this episode, we’re talking with Lisa Myers, founder and CEO of Ceres Chill—a brilliantly designed (and yes, wine-compatible) breast milk chiller that’s changing the game for pumping parents. Lisa didn’t start out as an entrepreneur. She was a high-powered attorney navigating new motherhood, constant pressure, and a heavy dose of mom guilt. When she couldn’t find a way to make pumping work while traveling for her job, she built her own solution—and turned it into a thriving business.
We dive into imposter syndrome in motherhood—how it sneaks in, even for moms who seem to “have it all together.” From handling unexpected medical scares with her kids to feeling like she wasn’t doing enough in both work and parenting, Lisa gets real about the emotional weight moms carry. She also shares what it takes to set boundaries, ask for help, and keep moving forward—even when self-doubt tries to shut you down.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re falling short (or just need proof that you can still do amazing things with the fear), this episode is for you. It’s a powerful reminder that imposter syndrome in motherhood doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you care. And that’s exactly why you’re more capable than you think.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- How guilt drives so many parenting decisions—and how to recognize when it’s not helpful.
- Why breastfeeding struggles don’t define your worth or your love for your child.
- The surprising truth behind imposter syndrome and why it sticks around—even after big wins.
- How to balance ambition and motherhood without burning out.
- Simple mindset shifts to help moms feel confident in their parenting and professional choices.
