"A Mom in Real Life" is a podcast hosted by Katherine Bush, a mother on a mission to empower women worldwide to become whole women while also being whole mothers, raising whole children. In our society, the conflict in being a whole mother and whole woman simultaneously often seems insurmountable. However, there are women out there who are determined to navigate this painful paradox and it all begins with embracing raw authenticity and getting real: why does the world make it so difficult for us to implement what we know about supporting our children's development? And why are we often told that our best is good enough without considering the extent to which our best is meeting our children's developmental needs for wholeness? This podcast reveals uncomfortable truths, cutting through the hollow rhetoric of self-care and surface-level reassurances. We get personal about the real problems, the countless barriers, and the many contradictions that prevent us from becoming the mothers we instinctively know we should be. We share stories of women who are challenging the status quo, breaking cycles, and working to integrate wholeness across our motherhood, womanhood, and as a foundation in the first critically precious years of our children's lives.
