In this episode, I’m getting real about what actually shifts after you become a mom—especially once your kids hit that school-age stage. I’m sharing a mix of personal stories, voice notes from you (my amazing Instagram fam), and some serious wisdom from Dr. Morgan Cutlip’s book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself that I think every mom should read.
We’re talking about:
The invisible mental load that no one prepares you for
Why motherhood sometimes feels like a seven-layer cake of pressure (yes, really)
How to handle tantrums without losing your cool (or your mind)
The unexpected ways your identity shifts after kids
What it really means to aim for “okay-ish” motherhood—and why that’s more than enough
Whether you’re deep in the trenches or just trying to figure out who you are now that “mom” is part of your title, this episode is here to remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think.
