Becoming a new mom is one of the most transformative experiences a woman can go through. But for some, the journey to motherhood is fraught with challenges that can make the transition to parenthood even more difficult. In this episode, I share the emotional obstacles my mother faced in her inability to connect with her firstborn, her ups and downs, and the lessons she learned. 

From struggling to get intravenous antibiotics to deal with the boil growing in her lower back to feeling disconnected from her firstborn, I share the ups and downs of her journey and the lessons she learned along the way. I discuss self-advocacy's importance in navigating the medical system for my mother living with Alzheimer's and dealing with the taboo of admitting when motherhood isn't what you expected, and the strategies she used to cope with the emotional toll of a difficult start and hard ends.

Whether you're a new mom or a caregiver taking care of a loved one living with Alzheimer's, this episode offers a raw and honest perspective on the challenges many women face when starting their parenting journey and the difficulties caregivers encounter daily.
