This YouTube video (by Jacqueline Elliott) addresses "mom guilt" and urges mothers to prioritize self-care. The speaker frames self-care as both beneficial for mothers’ own happiness and as an important example for children, asserting that a child's success, happiness, and health are strongly linked to how happy, successful, and healthy their mother is.
