Why Motherhood Felt So Hard (And Why I Do This Work Today)


Listen Later

In this episode of Mom Life Juntas, I’m sharing something deeply personal, my story.

From experiencing pregnancy loss to navigating postpartum anxiety and depression during COVID, motherhood didn’t look the way I expected it to. And for a long time, I felt like I had to carry it all quietly.

This is very common.
And we don’t talk about it enough.

In this episode, I open up about:

  • The isolation of miscarriage and not having answers
  • Giving birth alone during COVID
  • Struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression
  • The fear of being honest about how hard motherhood felt
  • Why I stopped sharing—and what that taught me
  • How these experiences shaped the work I do today

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this feel so hard when everyone else makes it look easy?” this episode is for you.

You’re not alone in this.

Struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means you’re human and you deserve support too.
