TedTalk | Letting Go of Mom Guilt

Mom burnout isn’t caused by kids, work, or lack of discipline. It’s caused by a rule we were taught that’s quietly breaking women—and this talk shows exactly how to fix it. The founder and CEO of Laura Conley Coaching, home to The Yummy Mummy Weight Loss Method and Free the Moms, a coaching movement and membership that helps moms live their best, freest lives—body, mind, and soul. Lovingly dubbed the “Fun Weight Loss Coach,” Laura has helped hundreds of women lose weight for the last time and finally silence the nonstop food chatter all from a place of love, laughter, and radical self-acceptance. Through her signature method blending hormone balance, brain rewiring, emotional regulation, and loving accountability, she’s on a mission to free one million moms from diet culture so they can pass down a legacy of confidence, ease, and joy to their kids. Her latest creation, Free the Moms, expands that mission beyond weight loss—helping moms release guilt, reconnect to themselves, and build intentional, pleasure-filled lives they’re obsessed with. Laura is also the host of the Free the Moms Podcast. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
