Listen Later

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Stephanie. I loved this whole conversation and I know you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-The hardships of raising a non-verbal toddler and a baby during Covid with very limited resources.
-Relearning how to ask for help and take care of herself as a stay-at-home mom.
-When everything just feels like too much
-Feeling like we have to do everything and letting go of control
-Why did she feel so angry all the time?
-How she now feels that exercise isn't self-care - it's a necessity.
-How hormone imbalance adds to our challenges

Please shower Stephanie with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story.
