Keke Palmer Says “No Time for Mom Guilt, Especially in This Economy”
Actress and new mom Keke Palmer is pushing back against the pressure of “mom guilt,” especially in today’s economic climate. In a recent interview, Palmer emphasized the need for working moms to prioritize their jobs without guilt. “If you got to work, you got to work,” she stated plainly, acknowledging the financial realities many families face.
Palmer, who recently welcomed her son Leodis “Leo” with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, also highlighted the importance of accepting help with childcare. Embracing the “it takes a village” mentality, she encouraged moms not to feel bad about seeking support. This is particularly crucial, she noted, given the current economic landscape where many families require dual incomes.
The busy star, who balances acting with hosting the game show “Password” and her own podcast “Baby, This is Keke,” also discussed how motherhood has helped her prioritize her own well-being. Despite a demanding schedule that also includes her latest album release, “Just Keke,” Palmer finds that the needs of her child provide clarity and help her focus on what truly matters.
Palmer’s sentiments echo those of other celebrity moms like Blake Lively and Michelle Williams, who have also spoken candidly about the challenges of balancing career and family. Both Lively and Williams have admitted to grappling with guilt when dividing their time between work and personal commitments.
