What makes motherhood so hard? In this episode I chat with Rachael Garner, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist, as we unpack some of what makes motherhood so hard in this particular moment in time. From mental struggles like decision-fatigue and the invisible load we carry as mothers to the physical toll it takes on our bodies and more, we pop the top on what many of us are going through in motherhood that can sometimes feel like we are the only one. Rachael is a guiding light on some ways to navigate extending grace to ourselves, mentally and physically. Motherhood really is a good and beautiful gift, but it is okay to acknowledge the hard things about it. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, a full-time working mom or anything in between, we all go through the ups, downs and all arounds of motherhood. Let's give ourselves grace and find community to help us see the light and find the joy!

If you find yourself more than just overwhelmed and could benefit from consulting a professional, please don't feel alone in that! Motherhood is a lot and talking to a professional can help regulate feelings and give an extra hand in dealing with the weight of it.
