'He was always questioning like, "Do you even love me?" Because I was often horrible,' she confessed.

'I think when that started to happen too often it was like, "No, no, no. I do love you and you're, like, the best person in my world and I don't want you to ever feel that way. There's obviously something going on because I'm not even angry at you."'

The mother of one believes her anger stems from being incredibly hard on herself.

'I know when it's definitely bottling up because I'll react in a way that, like, five seconds later I'm like, "Why did I do that?"' she said.

'You say sorry, but if you do it so often, it's like when does saying sorry actually mean something?'

'Twelve hours on set yesterday followed by two hours of sleep because Harvey was up all night (the joy of molars coming through),' she wrote in the caption. 

'Shout-out to all the working parents out there. It's hard. Running a company is hard. While so rewarding, there are so many challenges that come with juggling mum and work life.

'Last night I broke down. Mostly I'm sure from sleep deprivation, but also due to the guilt, feeling like I couldn't be 110 per cent there for Harvey because of how I have to show up for my team, too.'

The Keep It Cleaner co-founder went on to say she was also missing her 'No. 1 support person' Josh, who is on a fishing trip.

'I can push through the tough times at work knowing that what we do makes a real impact on people all around the world,' she added. 

She continued: 'I really do struggle with guilt that comes with being a working mum, but I also feel proud that my son can see me going to work every day and building my career.' 

Steph concluded her post by saying that although her son isn't old enough to understand her work, she will continue to 'try to be the best role model for him'.
