Good Mom Rules is a labor of love and advocacy designed to help moms identify and conquer the guilt they carry around with them every day. Many moms hold on to “mistakes” they have made or life circumstances that forced them to parent differently than they once imagined.
Conquering guilt allows you to live in the present with your children and enjoy motherhood more. This is possible when you have compassion for the younger versions of yourself. Releasing this heavy emotion will help you give your children the happier, freer mom they deserve.

As a 4-time surrogate, I've heard most, if not all, the questions people have about surrogacy. I've also had a multitude of experiences to share about what it's been like.
II have a passion for helping families grow and I want to help others to understand more about surrogacy and if it's something they are thinking about doing themselves, help answer the questions they may not know they have so they can get off the fence, one way or another.
Juggling Motherhood and a Career Without Losing Yourself with Christi Gmyr | S8 E21
In this episode, I welcome Christi Gmyr—a former therapist turned coach for career-driven moms—who shares her personal journey through the challenges of balancing motherhood, professional life, and her own well-being. From returning to work too soon after maternity leave to managing pandemic-era parenting with a newborn and a toddler, Christi opens up about the guilt, burnout, and self-imposed “shoulds” that so many moms silently carry.
Together, we talk about the importance of giving ourselves grace, letting go of perfectionism, redefining success on our own terms, and why support (both emotional and practical) is non-negotiable—not a luxury. Christi also shares how she helps moms ditch the overwhelm and reconnect with what truly matters.
If you've ever felt like you “should” be doing more, better, or faster… this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do it all alone either.
🎧 Tune in and hear:
💼 Burnout from trying to “do it all”
👶 The emotional weight of early motherhood
🧠 Why your mindset matters more than a spotless kitchen
🤝 The importance of community (even if yours is online!)
💗 And why grace—not guilt—is your greatest superpower
Christi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State, a National Certified Counselor and a Coach for Moms. She is a mom of two kids who are 8 and 4 years old. Christi has worked in community mental health settings for nearly 10 years in therapist and management positions before opening a private therapy practice. After the birth of her first child, Christi learned just how hard it was to juggle the challenges of parenthood with a demanding career. This was exacerbated when her second child was born, bringing about it's own unique set of difficulties. Since then, Christi has transitioned into coaching where she uses what she learned through personal experience and her work as a therapist to help other stressed out moms with demanding careers to overcome burnout so they can feel more connected to their spouse and kids without guilt and resentment Christi currently resides in Syracuse, NY with her husband and two children. When she's not working or driving her kids to their many activities, she enjoys spending time with friends, being outside and watching Survivor with her husband.
