Ep 276: When Motherhood Isn't Enough


Listen Later

What happens when motherhood doesn’t check every single box? When you love your kid like crazy and still want more for yourself?

In this episode, I get into the messy, complicated truth about feeling unfulfilled in motherhood. The guilt, the judgment, the “shouldn’t this be enough?” soundtrack we all pick up from family, media, and society. I talk about why I don’t believe one role, even motherhood, can (or should) be your whole identity, and why wanting more doesn’t mean you love your child any less.

Motherhood is amazing, hilarious, exhausting—and it doesn’t have to be the only thing that defines you.
