The struggles are different, but are they harder? In the generations gone by, where women were relegated to ‘home duties’, there was a confinement, but also a simplicity. Today, there’s privilege, and also struggle as a result of that privilege.

In this conversation we open up some key points for you to consider as you wrestle with this question.

In this episode we discuss:

• Was the intense overwhelm always the case? Or are we becoming ‘too soft’?
• There’s a burden of responsibility when we know more about child and human development
• Nowadays kids tend to have bigger behaviours because of unprecedented sensory overload on the nervous system
• The cultural blaming of mothers
• Patriarchial mothering systems creating mental & physical load-hoarding
• Worldview comparison creating struggle to be in the life you’ve created
• Nuclear functioning of the family unit
• Recognising the privilege in thriving vs surviving
