The Bloomera Podcast | Personal Growth, Breaking Cycles, & Healing Trauma (your BLOOM ERA)

Today’s episode is an honest conversation about how motherhood changes you. It’s my hope that by sharing the darkness that I’ve found in motherhood, it might bring some light into the darkness you might find. 

I want you to feel a sense of relief as you listen to this, realizing it’s not just you. That you are not alone in these struggles. Motherhood is hard. It is transformative. And as with any transformation, there is a sense of loss and a sense of gain. It can be both good and bad.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Losing yourself in motherhood
• Grieving your life before baby
• Struggling with new motherhood
• Ways to care for your mental health in motherhood
• Feeling “touched out” and overstimulated
• How your relationships change in motherhood
• What to do when friends disappear after your baby is born
• Navigating marriage after a baby
• How a baby changes your marriage

Articles mentioned:

• Challenges and Struggles in Motherhood
• Friendship Breakups | When Friendships End

Today's episode is all about embracing motherhood and the challenges and struggles that come along with Motherhood!

We are talking about the challenges and struggles of motherhood. You already hear all about the joys and wonderful parts of motherhood. You are bombarded with it every time you scroll through social media or turn on your tv. But no one really talks about the hard parts of motherhood - the times you feel lost in motherhood. That's because it can be filled with so much shame. But by not talking about the difficulties in motherhood, we are just creating more shame. 

Motherhood is tough. Motherhood is overwhelming. And motherhood is lonely enough as it is. We don't need to make it more lonely by keeping all of this bottled up. Let's start sharing our real experiences in motherhood - the good and the bad.

Join me in this vulnerable and raw conversation about motherhood.

We are going to talk about:

• What motherhood feels like
• Losing yourself in motherhood
• Society's expectations of women and mothers
• Working mom problems
• Stay-at-home mom problems
• The invisible work of mothers
• Mom's mental load and emotional labor
• Maternal ambivalence
• Asking for help in motherhood
• How to overcome mom guilt
• How motherhood changes you
• What motherhood teaches you
• And so much more!

Articles mentioned in the podcast:

• Becoming a Mother | The Birth of a Mother
• Becoming a Mother | Pregnancy, Labor, and Delivery
• Becoming a Mother | Postpartum Period 
• Intergenerational Trauma
• Postpartum Self-Care

This series is for all of my new moms, moms-to-be, and the curious-about-motherhood types. We are talking about becoming a mother. It’s going to be beautiful, it’s going to be raw, and above all, it is going to be real.

We are kicking off this series by talking about the birth of a mother. You are giving birth to your baby but also a new identity for yourself - a new life on both accounts. There is so much focus on the baby, but not enough on the mother. In this series, we are giving much-needed focus to mothers.

Upcoming episodes:
Pregnancy, Labor, and Delivery
The Postpartum Period
Embracing Motherhood

I’m here to introduce you to a new concept for your New Year resolutions:  continued personal growth. Setting goals throughout the year instead of just once a year.

A resolution is just a promise that you make to better yourself or your life. So, why does this need to be done just once a year? We could all benefit from reflecting on our lives, habits, and choices far more than once a year! This keeps you accountable.

In today's episode, we talk about setting a resolution for each month and allowing your goals to evolve with your life.

Before we can talk about moving forward, we must first talk about letting go.

Today’s episode was supposed to be about New Year's resolutions and was intended to inspire change in your life. I kept trying to record that episode and had to keep stopping myself. Something in me kept gravitating towards the theme of letting go instead of moving forward. It makes sense though, you can’t move forward without first letting go. I mean, you can, but is it really in your best interest to keep plowing forth with all of that extra baggage? Probably not. I stopped recording and immediately pivoted. Because 2020 has taught us all about pivoting right? In this episode, we are talking about everything we need to let go as we say goodbye to 2020.
