More Than Memes - the internet gets parenthood wrong. Claire Edwards (my FAV TikTok momfluencer)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- We had the BEST time talking to Claire Edwards, mom of two known for being very funny on TikTok, about why the internet's negative portrayal of parenting isn't telling the whole story. Claire opens up about how scared she was to become mom because the internet made it look terrible (think: videos of moms having a breakdown in the Target parking lot).
Claire shares why she's loving motherhood in spite of her negative expectations, ways parenthood has helped her grow as a person and why being a mom has made her more committed to being herself. Jess and Claire draw on their own online journeys to share tips about how to sift through internet parenting content in a healthy way.
Claire's baby son joined as a special guest so you'll hear some of the cutest noises ever throughout the interview.

It's so interesting that Claire had that experience of seeing bad things about motherhood and was pleasantly surprised. I feel like I had the exact opposite where all I saw about parenthood before having kids was rainbows and butterflies so becoming a mum ended up being so much harder than I ever imagined. All I could find was blissful happy mum content which made me feel even more miserable and like a failure. I definitely think there's been a huge change in such a short time which has been refreshing - but it's so great, as Claire mentioned, that it's evening out now where we're talking about the good AND the bad. Great conversation here!
I definitely owe you a Marco Jess!
As a first time dad these videos have helped me understand not only myself but my wifes journey better. Thanks!
Jess’s Baby 101 video series holds a special place in my heart 🥲 First videos I watched when I found out I was pregnant!
I love Claire. She helped me so much with my anxiety of becoming a Mom. Now I love it too!
So refreshing!! I had a mix of what Claire's expectations were but also rainbows and I had pretty bad postpartum depression with my first baby, but I think that was due to birth trauma (3rd degree tear), shock, sleep deprivation, and not having enough support in the beginning. It really makes a huge difference when you're not doing everything. Motherhood is so rewarding albeit challenging for me every second of the day 😂 but I'm learning and have so much fun with my two girls 4 & 2. So blessed and thankful for this podcast. ALSO PLEASE NOTE Lane--you do not ever have to be quiet just because you don't have a baby. Please continue sharing your experience and knowledge. It takes a village. I think when you're ready or if you have kids, you're going to be a badass mama and it'll only enhance all the value you already have and bring to our world. Love to y'all!!!
No regrets. Ever. I will always and forever be unconditionally in love and available and do anything for my babies.♥️✨
Motherhood is nice as long as you dont lose who you realy are. Your real identity. Us woman should be more than just mothers and wives. Im exited about husling and getting back to work soon.
Loved this episode. Challenging me to pay more attention to how I am describing motherhood and try to better articulate both the joys and the challenges. Both the words I use to describe it in my own mind, and also how I describe it to others. So good.
