Giulia De Lellis discusses work-life balance and motherhood guilt
Influencer Giulia De Lellis has shared her personal struggles regarding the difficulty of balancing professional commitments with motherhood. Since becoming a mother to her daughter, Priscilla, in October 2025, De Lellis has expressed experiencing intense guilt when work obligations prevent her from maintaining her daughter's daily routines, such as bedtime, meals, and naps.
De Lellis revealed on Instagram that she is seeking support from a psychologist to manage these feelings. Her reflections have sparked a broader discussion regarding the challenges faced by working mothers in contemporary society. Data from CNEL-ISTAT and Save the Children highlight this systemic issue in Italy, noting that many women face significant pressure to balance career demands with childcare, often resulting in professional penalties or the need to leave the workforce during early childhood.
