After a singular incident, Zaiba and Uzma talk about what it feels like to be invisible despite showing up every day in a million big and small ways for our kids. They recount what it feels like to be "the one" as well as "the none" in the family. Maternal identity, being seen, being appreciated and the opposite of all those show up on today's episode. Review some more thought models and come feel better about our common pitfalls and how we get out of those negative spirals through prayer and reflection.
