Season 7 | Episode 5: Your Journey into Motherhood is Unique

15 minutes

How we became mothers has a huge impact on our approach to motherhood and our approach to self care. In this episode, you'll learn about that impact and a few things you should remember along the way.

Regardless of how you journeyed into motherhood, I want you to remember these 3 things:

You are not alone - motherhood is a commune of shared joy, worry, love and uncertainty in our roles as mothers. When you go to the park and see other mothers with their children and one of the kids starts to have a tantrum, you feel an emotional pull toward that mother, because you know what it feels like. In the same way that you know her joy when the child says “Look how fast I can run, mommy”

We all need help sometimes - even the mothers with the biggest smiles, tidiest homes, matching mommy & me outfits and big kitchens - we all need help sometimes. Probably more often than we admit. Ask for the help you need

You are doing a great job - of course we all strive to do better, and there is nothing wrong with that. But take the time to acknowledge how far you’ve come with whatever resources you have, with children who are alive and well. As you level up your life and reconnect with yourself through self care, you’ll grow and learn new things. You’ll create new goals - it’s all part of the process.
