In this week’s episode, I have a chat with Cherrice Smith. Cherrice is a therapist, a mom, a daughter, a wife, a caretaker and many more things. She juggles so much on her plate with three little ones running around keeping her busy. We chat about her birth stories, navigating stressors after her first child, and embracing a community of support after her second. We also talk about the importance of self-care and being able to define self-care on your terms. Sometimes meeting friends for brunch on a Saturday in downtown Atlanta can feel taxing and opting to cancel plans instead and sit alone in a park can be the kind of self-care that you need. Give a listen to this real mom talk about motherhood struggles, while also trying to figure it out day-by-day.
