A very special episode of the podcast this week as Kat sits down with Tracey and Ash, two of the many amazing mums within the MTMM Community to talk all things motherhood! 

Behind the smiles, the cuddles and the restless nights, there are many elements that accompany motherhood, particularly for those new to the game, that often don’t receive as much attention in the spotlight as they should. 

The feelings of expectation, judgement and guilt can be daily occurrences as advice from all angles comes flying in surrounding rather personal topics such as breastfeeding, attachment, sleep training and childcare.  All these suggestions (or judgements) coupled with a fair amount of sleep deprivation can often lead to feelings of nervousness, anxiety and overwhelm. 

- How do you make time for yourself with a brand new bubba? 
- How do you figure out the changing dynamic of relationships in the household with your partner?
- How do you trust what feels right and natural when you have no relative baseline to compare it to or when it feels like everyone around you expects you to do it differently? 
- How does having your first baby compare with your second? 

And how do you then work to balance all of the above while healing, caring, and adjusting to a new schedule or with a potential back to work deadline? 

Motherhood is incredibly rewarding. It’s a joy and a pleasure. But the doesn’t mean that it’s always easy! For all of you new or expecting mums - we hope this chat feels like the sit down you need with your girlfriends and helps you feel supported and confident that we’re all just doing our best for our little families. 

Enjoy!
