Why Women in Midlife Feel Guilty Taking Time for Themselves with Laura Vanderkam

Why do I feel guilty taking time for myself? It's a question many women in midlife ask themselves the moment they finally get an hour that's theirs. In this clip from her conversation with host Holly Osterman, Laura Vanderkam, author of "Big Time," explains why that guilt shows up, and why it's so often misplaced. Laura Vanderkam breaks down the story many women in midlife tell themselves: that everybody needs them, that nothing works without them. Guilt exists to repair harm, she explains. So when nobody's actually been hurt, that guilt doesn't hold up.
