Podcast Episode 289: You’re How Old? Tackling the Guilt and Judgment When You Have Kids Later In Life

Let’s dive into a topic that’s a little hush-hush but super important – becoming a mom at a later age. It’s a bit taboo, but why should it be? 

Whether you’re 20 or 50, motherhood doesn’t have an expiration date! 

Many women are opting to focus on their careers before stepping into motherhood, creating a growing trend that’s reshaping norms. This means you’re not alone! There’s a whole community of older parents out there who understand the unique challenges and joys of parenting later in life. Forming close bonds with these parents can create a supportive and understanding network that strengthens your parenting journey.

But let’s be honest, chasing a toddler requires the energy of a marathon runner, and sometimes your 40-year-old knees just aren’t up for the challenge. Not to mention that coffee becomes your best friend, and you might find yourself daydreaming about naps more than your toddler does. 

But hey, with age comes wisdom, and you’ll find creative ways to keep up (like mastering the art of sitting games).

Being an older mom comes with its set of challenges, but it also brings a unique set of advantages that make the journey incredibly rewarding. With a solid career, financial stability, a wealth of friends’ experiences to draw upon, and personal interests that keep you grounded, you’re more than equipped to handle the ups and downs of motherhood.

So, embrace the adventure, ignore the haters, form those close bonds with other older parents, and remember to keep your sense of humor intact. 

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • The advantages of being an older mom, like having a solid career, better financial stability, and a wealth of friends’ experiences to draw upon for advice.
  • The importance of maintaining personal interests beyond parenting.
  • Many women are opting to focus on their careers before stepping into motherhood – a growing trend that’s reshaping norms.
  • The importance of forming close bonds with other older parents, creating a supportive and understanding community that strengthens the parenting journey.
