We explore the stereotypes and expectations that are put upon mothers (and that we put upon ourselves) with and the challenges that come with being a mother.
Sometimes it can be hard to talk about motherhood and our struggles publicly which is why it is important to talk about invisible load of motherhood - and how we all carry it.

Our pediatrician, lover her, asks me at every appointment how am I and if I need anything. And at our last appt with our youngest she asked and I literally fell a part! Just snot crying lol. She embraced me, affirmed me, encouraged me, and guided me in that moment. I needed it. So yes, even after a year or 4, mom's still need wellness checks. I'm with you and will always advocate for that!
My pediatrician is this kind too. ❤️
The discussion on mom guilt, on asking for help… all of it is so necessary! When Ginny said her son just turned 2 and still mourning her old self… baybeeee the tears I felt in my eyes. It’s true you’re NEVER the same. Good discussion
I appreciate every episode so much! I experienced postpartum depression and anxiety after my 3rd child and hearing each of your stories is so relatable and really makes me feel I’m not alone. It’s an amazing feeling ❤
Wow, I’m so lucky I found this channel, everything they said made me emotional. 😢😍
I’m glad I found this channel
Thank you Ladies for this !!! Very helpful and it’s so nice to see we are in this together!!!
It's hard to ask for help sometimes but the way for us to show up as our best for our kids is to know our limits. I think they will appreciate our honesty and transparency as the get older and it will allow them to see our humanity. They'll understand that mom is not a robot or a super hero and prayerfully they'll take that example and use it in their own lives and families. Kids don't come with instructions so having supportive husbands and friends while we navigate motherhood is such a blessing. Great episode ladies. Love the show!
I love the transparency! There was so much I didn’t know when I had my daughter. ❤
We feel like we are always learning so much still. I’m glad we can at least share what we know
In Australia the Maternal Health Nurses ask new mums detailed questions to check on your mental health they should do that everywhere
