Motherhood is hard enough – am I right! We need all the help we can get and walking this journey along side other moms is a MUST to survive.

But this isn't always the case and isn't always easy for some of us moms - #lonelinessisreal

In this episode we have a real talk about our very different journeys in our motherhood relationships from fighting to maintain the friendships we had to losing friends, changing friendships & feeling isolated and lonely in our mom life.

We open up about fighting to make mom friendships a priority while finding it challenging to make the time in our busy day to day.

Though we both walked very different roads we agree on one thing making time for mom friends is a must in motherhood.

Let's be real – we've all had those bad mom days! #guilthangover

We've all been THAT mom.

THAT mom who snaps at her kids.

THAT mom who's short tempered.

THAT mom who yells & loses her cool.

#mommytantrums are real.

In this episode we get honest about our worst mom days & what we do to try to prevent them from happening, ahead of time & how we repair them when they inevitably do happen. #graceupongrace. No mom shame here, no perfect moms either.

I'm going to mess these kids up! Why can't I get it together! Those moms are so put together! What if I didn't do enough!

Can you relate? #momguiltisreal.

On this episode we dive right into why mom guilt is at an all time high. Why we compare more and put such unrealistic expectations on ourselves that other generations would never have dreamed of. The pressure to be perfect and be good at #allthethings while balancing everything on our plates and looking good doing it #socialmedia.

We share what we struggle with - guilt, pressure and not enoughness and give tips on how to let go of the mom guilt, and working mom guilt and finally feel like we are enough exactly where we are – bye bye mom shame!

This episode is super real about my struggles as a mom. Being a highly sensitive anxiety warrior and introvert, motherhood hit me like a truck! I didn't know if I was coming or going.

I had all these expectations of how it should go and how I needed to fit the mold of a perfect mom. So much pressure on myself to be perfect and to look like I had it all together in front of all the moms & social media that I compared myself too.

I kept pushing myself and pushing myself. Doing more and more, not listening to my body or my mind and slowly I dropped to the bottom of the priority list. I had no choice but to listen when I had a breakdown.

Here is my story and all that I learned to help you mom's out there that can relate that sometimes motherhood is all the things – hard and amazing. You are so not alone.

Who hasn't had a hot mess mom moment this week? Today? This hour?

When do we see our #mommytantrums more? When we forget to take care of ourselves. When we fall to the bottom of the list. When we neglect ourselves.

We are all busy mamas but self care doesn't have to be another stress added to your to do list. In this episode we chat about not knowing what true self care is sometimes, completely forgetting to take care of ourselves and how the alternative of not doing realistic self care ends up with exhausted moms headed to burnout.

We share our tips of how self care can realistically fit into your busy day and how it helps you feel better and ultimately makes you a better mama for it.

Body Shaming, bouncing back after baby, losing the baby weight...

No matter how you put it there isn't a mom we know that hasn't struggled with adjusting to the change her #mombod has been through since becoming a mom.

Cringeworthy moments in front of the mirror, anyone? We've all been there.

So in this episode we get raw and real about how we work to not beat ourselves up when it comes to our view of our body. How we remember the amazing strength of our bodies and what they can do, while managing the reality and acceptance that our bodies might now ever bounce back completely. And how we push to get back on track mentally and physically to feel better overall - when its not always easy.
