Georgina Wilson Shares the Parenting Mindset More Moms Need to Hear
GEORGINA WILSON – Entrepreneur Georgina Wilson is challenging one of motherhood’s biggest taboos by saying that taking care of yourself may actually be the best thing you can do for your children.
Georgina Wilson is redefining what modern motherhood looks like, proving that prioritizing oneself can be one of the greatest gifts a parent gives to their children. Known both as a successful model and as a co-founder of the Sunnies lifestyle empire, Wilson openly challenges the long-standing belief that mothers must sacrifice their own identities to be considered good parents.
In her latest cover story for Preview magazine, published on January 8, 2026, the 39-year-old entrepreneur spoke candidly about the pressure many women feel to abandon their personal goals once they become mothers. According to Wilson, this mindset often leads to guilt and burnout rather than fulfillment. As she put it, “Moms sometimes feel that they need to give up themselves,” a reality she believes deserves to be questioned rather than accepted.
Wilson argues that self-care and personal growth are not selfish acts but powerful lessons for children. By occasionally choosing to “put themselves first,” mothers show their kids the importance of self-worth and balance. “I think that moms who take care of themselves… are a good example to their kids,” she shared, emphasizing that children benefit from seeing a parent who is both happy and professionally engaged.
Balancing motherhood with running a rapidly expanding business is no easy feat, something Wilson readily admits. She described the challenge as “very hard,” but clarified that her approach does not involve trying to do everything at once. Instead, she relies on strict organization. “I live by my calendar. Every hour is scheduled,” Wilson explained, a system that allows her to be fully present at home while remaining productive at work.
Beyond her achievements, Wilson’s outlook on parenting remains deeply grounded. She sees her three sons—Archie, Alfie, and Javi—not as extensions of her own ambitions, but as individuals with their own paths. She respects them as “separate beings” and focuses less on career success and more on character.
Ultimately, Wilson believes that true success lies in raising children who are happy and principled. “To be a good person, to be truthful, to not steal… that’s what I want for my kids. That’s, for me, success,” she concluded.
