·27 min·1 clip

Ariel says mom guilt eases when mothers stop trying to get everything right.

1. Soul Care Mom Podcast features Catherine Wilde talking with Ariel DeLotte Jones about how to find yourself in motherhood. 2. Catherine Wilde introduces herself as a mom of three, a Soul Care Mom coach, and a yoga and meditation teacher, and Ariel DeLotte Jones is described as "Mom of Taj." 3. The episode asks how a mother can rediscover identity after becoming a wife, parent, and household caretaker. 4. Ariel says she had no friends or family nearby when she became a mother, so she took motherhood "very seriously" and focused almost entirely on her children. 5. She says a second pregnancy was unplanned, which pushed her deeper into routines and survival mode. 6. Ariel recalls being told she looked tired, and that comment became the moment she started asking who she was and what she wanted. 7. She says she had to think about how to create a life for herself instead of living only around her kids' needs. 8. Ariel explains that caring for herself made it easier to pour into her spouse and children. 9. She says social media has made it easier for women to admit that they do not have everything together. 10. Ariel describes relatable content as an online space where moms can see people who live like them and feel less alone. 11. She says mothers often follow popular advice without checking whether it fits their own lives. 12. Ariel says the world tells people what to think instead of how to think, and that comparison adds guilt. 13. She recommends focusing on a personal vision for yourself and your kids rather than everybody else's life. 14. Ariel says mom guilt can be managed by doing the best you can and accepting that perfection is impossible. 15. She says once children’s basic needs are met, mothers need to pour into themselves so they can model confidence. 16. Ariel recommends starting with a realistic daily schedule and then identifying what brings happiness, rest, and connection. 17. She distinguishes deep self-care from surface habits like taking a bath or combing hair, and connects it to "internal peace." 18. Ariel says stillness, meditation, and spending time alone help her hear her own thoughts and align with purpose. 19. The conversation feels conversational and reflective, with Catherine asking direct follow-up questions and Ariel answering in practical terms. 20. Moms who feel lost after childbirth will get the most from this episode, while listeners wanting a fast entertainment segment may skip it.
