If you know me, you know that motherhood is a very big deal to me. And if you’ve been listening to the first few episodes I’ve posted (available on Apple Podcasts if you want to catch up), then you know that I wasn’t trying when I had my first kid, I had a miscarriage, and my baby girl is an IVF baby. I have come to know motherhood in so many different ways, and it really changed who I am as a person for the better. 

I’m not saying I was terrible before my kids, but I have learned how to be more forgiving and more compassionate to others. I’ve also learned how to give myself more grace, even in the midst of the craziest moments of my life. I love my kids, and today, I want to talk about what motherhood has been like for me.  

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how motherhood changed my life. It has not always been fun, and it has not always been easy. Reminder, this is not a “perfect 2-hour morning routine” episode; this is the real stuff. So if you’re ready, grab a cafesito and get ready to hear all about my experience with motherhood and all the ups and downs that come with it.

Trigger warning for mentions of miscarriage in this episode.
