\\ When You Feel Like You’re Never Enough — A Love Letter to the Overlooked Wife
In this episode, we go straight into the heart of a silent struggle so many women carry alone.
This one is for the mom who is doing everything; working, caregiving, cleaning, remembering appointments, pouring into her kids, pouring into her marriage, and still trying to squeeze in care for her own body and heart...yet somehow feels like she’s not measuring up.
It’s for the woman who loves being a homemaker, who loves creating a home, who loves caring for her family…
but quietly wonders if her husband wishes she were someone “easier,” “lighter,” “younger,” or untouched by motherhood.
It’s the episode for the woman who feels replaced by a fantasy she can never, and should never, compete with.
We’re breaking that open today.
What We Cover
The hidden heartbreak happening in so many marriages
Why so many women feel like they’re losing to a younger, childless version of womanhood, and why that feeling isn’t actually rooted in truth.
Why the comparison isn’t about you at all
We talk about fantasy vs. reality, and why partners sometimes escape into the idea of “someone easier,” and what that actually signals (hint: it isn’t that you’re not enough).
How motherhood didn’t shrink you — it expanded you
A raw look at how becoming a mother deepens your identity, wisdom, emotional capacity, and power… even when the world doesn’t recognize it.
How to reclaim your sense of worth as the woman you are now
Including:
Releasing the pressure to be the woman you were before kids
Returning to your own approval
Redefining homemaking as world-building
Choosing nourishment over punishment
Healing the “never enough” narrative in your body, not just your mind
Why you will never be ‘that girl’ — and why that’s your superpower
A truth-telling conversation about letting go of the fantasy self and honoring the deeply lived, deeply layered woman you’ve become.
A love letter to the overlooked wife:
The closing message every mother, wife, and exhausted, stretched-thin woman needs to hear.
This Episode Is For You If…
You feel like your husband admires women you can’t relate to anymore
You compare yourself to your pre-baby body or pre-kid life
You feel invisible or taken for granted
You love your role at home but also want to feel chosen, seen, valued
You’re tired of feeling like you’re not enough — in your marriage, in your body, in your life
A Final Word
You are not losing.
You are not falling short.
You are not replaceable.
You are becoming — deeper, wiser, fuller.
And you deserve a love that honors the woman you are now.
