Today, we're joined by Hannah Olson, who’s on a mission to redefine what it means to be a mother. Hannah sheds light on the distinction between motherhood as a relationship and caregiving as a role, advocating for a fairer distribution of caregiving responsibilities and the crucial need for societal support for mothers. Our conversation also explores how language shapes our perceptions of motherhood and emphasizes the value of prioritizing quality time and meaningful connections over routine caregiving tasks.

Today we are chatting about things we didn’t sign up for this week - particularly focusing on default parenting. I share some recent personal experiences with overwhelm, especially while managing sick kids and balancing work responsibilities. I also chat about the emotional toll of parenting, the struggle for equality in shared responsibilities, and the exhaustion that comes with daily life. I also chat about things I do when I am feeling particularly overwhelmed or honestly, kind of fed up with daily life including gratitude and journaling practicies - all with a healthy dose of rants!
