Can you be a good mother if you need more than motherhood?

I've been asking myself this for months. Because here's the truth: I can't surrender 100% to mothering without losing myself. I need work, not for ambition, but for survival. For my mental health. For financial safety.

In this episode:

• Why "be present" advice is breaking mothers
• Post-Partum Health and my Blood Panels
• The three jobs I had to turn down (and why)
• Financial independence as self-protection
• Loving your kids AND being exhausted (both are true)
• Why I relaunched my business in the middle of a crisis
• The challenges of balancing self-care with family responsibilities, the importance of support systems

This is messy. This is real. And if you've felt this too, you're not alone.
