I Get It, Mama.

Sometimes joy isn’t loud.

Sometimes it’s hidden in the quiet, ordinary moments of our lives.

In motherhood, just like in everyday life, we have to be intentional about noticing it…

because the overwhelm, the stretching, the exhaustion, and the mom guilt? Those are real.

In this episode, we talk about that. Simply and honestly.

We also hear from a mama who shares how she feels “tired and overwhelmed” because of her children…

and maybe, in some way, that’s your story too. 🤍

Motherhood is full of love — but also full of quiet grief. Grief for your old life, your old freedom, your old body, your old self.

In this episode, we name the grief mothers hide because we think it means we’re ungrateful.

It doesn’t.

It means you’re human.

We explore:

• mourning who you used to be

• grieving the future you once imagined

• loss of freedom & spontaneity

• why grief doesn’t mean regret

• how to honor this transition

• how to allow joy and grief to exist together

This is a soft, validating conversation for the mama who feels heavy and can’t explain why.

Motherhood brings up old wounds — childhood pain, unresolved trauma, resentments, and expectations we didn’t know we still carried.

In this episode, we talk about the sacred journey of forgiveness:

• ​ forgiving yourself for what you didn’t know
• ​ forgiving your past and the girl you used to be
• ​ forgiving your own mother/parents
• ​ forgiving the situation
• ​ letting go of shame and self-blame
• ​ choosing softness over bitterness

Forgiveness doesn’t erase the hurt.

It frees the woman you’re becoming.

In this check-in episode of I Get It Mama, we’re talking about forgiveness — not just forgiving people, but forgiving the situation. Forgiving the timeline. Forgiving the version of life that didn’t unfold the way we imagined.

Sometimes growth doesn’t start with motivation.

Sometimes it starts with acceptance.

If you’ve felt behind, disappointed, or unsure of your season — this conversation is for you.

We’re back, & we’re rebuilding Honestly.

Motherhood can make you feel like you’re losing your mind — the intrusive thoughts, the overwhelm, the overthinking, the sudden tears, the moments of panic for no reason at all.

In this episode, we talk about what’s really happening beneath those big emotions.

You’re not dramatic.

You’re not unstable.

You’re not “too much.”

You’re a mother in transition, and your nervous system is trying to keep up.

We explore:

• why moms often feel “crazy”

• how postpartum rewires your brain

• emotional overload and sensory burnout

• how to ground yourself

• what’s normal vs what needs support

• reclaiming your inner calm

You are not the problem. You’re overwhelmed — and that’s human.

Motherhood can feel like love and loss at the same time — the softest joy mixed with the quiet grief of who you used to be.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the identity crisis almost every mother goes through but rarely says out loud.

The confusion.

The shift.

The parts of you that feel missing.

And the new parts of you that are trying to be born.

We explore:

• ​ why motherhood can feel like starting over
• ​ the grief of losing your old self
• ​ how to honour the woman you’re becoming
• ​ the pressure to “bounce back”
• ​ how to find yourself without rushing the process

This episode is a reminder:

You’re not broken.

You’re transforming.

And you don’t have to figure it all out at once.
