Motherhood is magical… and messy. In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Sarah Hoover, author of The Motherload, to explore what happens when our expectations about being a mom collide with reality. Sarah gets real about her journey with postpartum depression, the emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood, and why it’s totally okay (and necessary) to stop being a people pleaser as a mom.

From her early days working in the New York art world to navigating the ups and downs of parenting, Sarah’s story will leave you nodding in solidarity and maybe even laughing out loud. We talk about the impossible standards placed on moms, how to recognize when you need support, and why complaining is an underrated superpower. Spoiler alert: It’s not all hashtags and highlight reels, and that’s perfectly okay!

If you’ve ever wondered how to juggle motherhood without losing yourself, this episode is for you. Join us as we dive into Sarah’s empowering message and discover how to embrace imperfection, lean on others, and find joy in the chaos.
