Tune in while I share about the bedtime routine struggles I have been experiencing and the ones other moms have been encountering. Ah, bedtime... 

Such a big question, isn't it... I personally am one-and-done. You might be questioning if you're done or not. As someone that feels fairly confident, I thought I'd break it down for you, at least in the terms of how I think about it. Come take the quiz.

Oh toddlerhood. Such a fun time, isn’t it? Being the preferred parent is exhausting. If you own this title, I bet you cringe at these three torturous words: "MOMMY DO IT!" If you're the "number two parent," then I imagine you're equally tormented because you feel like sh!t that you can't do anything right. Our littles are not yet emotionally sophisticated creatures. Preferred parents literally never get a break, no matter how much the "number two" wants to step in and take over. If you're navigating this chapter of parenthood right now, I see you and feel your agony. 

Shoot me a message over on Instagram, and let me know if you can relate to being the preferred parent to your baby/toddler. Hang in there mama!!

Affirmations Morgan shared in the podcast:

1. Today I am pregnant and I love my baby

2. I am pregnant with a healthy, growing baby until I am told otherwise

3. My past is not my future and previous losses do not mean I will have future losses

4. Just because someone else is having a loss that doesn't mean I will. Miscarriage and loss are not contagious but fear can be.

5. Hope does not make bad things happen. I cannot jinx my pregnancy by getting my hopes up or by telling someone about it.

6. There is nothing I can change with worry. Worrying about what's not in my hands does not prevent it from happening. And if it happens again - God forbid - I know I can survive.

Tune in as I share some of the darkest thoughts moms experience throughout their postpartum journey.
