Reading Through Life

09: The Loneliness of Motherhood


Listen Later

Show notes:

It’s possible to be surrounded by our happy, laughing children (or unhappy screaming ones, let’s be real) and still feel lonely. As moms, we are often giving everything we have to our kids and losing sight of who we are as individuals. And between mothering and working and cleaning and cooking and everything else, who has time for friends?! We’re feelin’ lonely like a mother in this episode and talking about it all. Plus, learn everything you never wanted to know about Mia’s wonky ovary.
