Am I a bad mom?

Why do so many mothers carry the quiet fear that they're getting it wrong?

In this episode, we unpack where that feeling comes from. We chat about postpartum depression, attachment theory, social media, the endless stream of parenting advice, and why having more information than ever before doesn't necessarily make us more confident—it often just makes us more anxious.

We explore how comparison has become part of modern motherhood, why we've stopped trusting our own "mom gut," and how easy it is to believe that every decision will somehow shape our children's future forever.

Along the way, we discuss filtering the noise, finding people you trust, letting go of impossible expectations, and focusing on what actually matters. If you've ever spiralled after reading parenting advice online or wondered whether you're doing enough, this conversation is for you.

Because maybe the goal isn't being the perfect mom. Maybe it's learning to trust yourself again.

We're talking about community in motherhood, what it means, why it's so important, and why it can be surprisingly difficult to build.

Between moving, changing life stages, and the realities of raising young children, many of us find ourselves longing for the village we thought we'd have.

In this episode, Christy and I share our experiences of starting over, searching for connection, and learning that community isn't always one perfect group of friends. Sometimes it's built slowly through small, consistent spaces where we feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
