How do you deal with the guilt over travel? I’m getting ready to go on another shoot and dreading being away from my 5yo. I try to tell myself it’s really good for her relationship with her dad...

It’s good for her to see that women work and have careers as important as those of men.

Agree to all of the above.

Also, it is okay for you to have a break from active parenting. My kids (4 & 7) say they don’t want me to travel but when I get home they ask where their treat is before they even hug me, so there’s that.

It’s bonding time for her and her dad. They are making memories and forming a deeper relationship that’s only possible when you give them the space, by being away, to develop it.

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure).
