If you have ever found yourself asking the question "will I get through this?" know you are not alone. We dive deep into the doubts of parenthood in this episode and how we all are searching for validation that we are not alone and we will make it through this journey on the other side.
No matter where you find yourself today, whether in single motherhood like Kaitlyn or in your own valley, know this... IT IS GOING TO BE OK AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK.
✨If you have ever come out on the other side and have encouragement for the mom that is still in the trenches, would you leave an encouraging comment below? Let's fill the comment section with affirmations for whoever may land here. Because we know when we are really in it, sometimes all we need to hear is that we will ultimately be ok and that we are not alone.✨

Kaitlyn came with a WORD for every mom out there. I think universally, us mom's struggle with being the "perfect parent" especially in a world saturated by social media and unrealistic expectations. I love how she reminds us how to just show up the best we can on the hard days and to stop focusing on the invisible expectations of motherhood.
It's a tough reminder when you feel like a failure for feeding your kiddos yet another boxed dinner or a few more episodes of their favorite show, but sometimes we need to take the pressure off and truly find peace in the hills and valleys of parenting.
And in case no one has told you yet today, YOU ARE ENOUGH (and we think you're the perfect parent for your kiddos 👊🏼)

I loved this honest moment with @ameskiefer. I could totally relate with the feelings I had around wanting to "bounce back" after my first baby. It wasn't until my second pregnancy that I realized the importance of slowing it down and really listening to my body, honoring what it had been through, and finding acceptance in my new image.
Who has been guilty of feeling the pressure of the "bounce back"? Drop a 🙋♀️ in the comments.

Something that's not often talked about is grieving in motherhood - when those seasons don't look like you had pictured. It's something I had never considered when thinking about mamas dealing with colicky babies until Lauren shared her story. And it got me thinking about other phases of motherhood that entail grief... So, now I'm curious:
What season of motherhood have you grieved? Let's get a conversation going in the comments ⬇️ and help each other feel less isolated in these moments.

Matrescence is a new word/concept for me, but one that has given me so much clarity and validation in the transformation and questions I've had around the process of becoming a mother.
This conversation was not only eye-opening for me, it was also incredibly validating, as I sat in solidarity with Jess from @motherme.io to discuss all the emotional and physiological changes that we went through when we entered motherhood.

✨EPISODE 12✨ Mamas, this is a jam-packed episode that I know will have a resonating message for each and every one of you. I am just learning about Matrescence - the process of becoming a mother - and the more I learn, the more validated I feel in my experience of entering motherhood.
Jess Hull from @motherme.io sat down to chat ALL about entering motherhood:
✨ what we expected versus our own realities
✨ how our identities and values shifted with motherhood
✨ identifying our needs and asking for them
✨ reframing giving ourselves much-deserved recognition and praise
✨ learning the value of grace
... and so much more!

I always said that the women who saved me after going through recurrent miscarriage were in my pregnancy after loss support group. I needed women around me who not only understood loss, but recurrent loss. It was another layer to me that felt raw and exposed but not truly understood, until I was in their presence.
This is your reminder that it's okay to feel like you need specialized support from people who GET it. Our need to relate is human. We need someone who understands us on a deeper level - so we can feel seen, heard, and validated. 🤍

While I've always wanted to be a mom, I've also always wanted a career. I envisioned myself being an entrepreneur as I sat at my mom's desk watching her put so much joy and love into her work when I was young. I wanted to embody that someday.
It hasn't been an easy and linear decision to be a working mom. Sometimes it wasn't a decision at all; it was a necessity for our family. And while I continue to evaluate what works best for our family in every season, I have chosen to look at myself as a working mom in terms of empowerment instead of shame - embodying that same energy my mom did, that drove me to want a career of my own.
When it came time to really chase my dream of entrepreneurship, I chose to do it with the mindset that I couldn't look my kids in the eyes and tell them to go after their dreams if I wasn't willing to do the same.
So, whatever that dream is of yours -- whether it be a career, staying home to be with your babies, starting up a side gig -- go do it, mama.
The road is not easy for any of us. But together, we can cheer each other on along the way. ✨#motherhoodpodcast #podcastformoms #parentingpodcast #postpartumsupport #mommymoments #motherhoodunplugged #unfilteredmotherhood #mymotherhood #newbornlife #lifeasmama #momsofinstagram #candidmotherhood #toddlerlife #momsofig #workingmom #mompreneur

✨ TOMORROW ✨ Set yourself a reminder, mamas. Megan and I go deep into her past with #childhoodtrauma and how it looks to re-parent ourselves while parenting our littles.

I so appreciated this vulnerable moment by @welcomemamabysam, reflecting on a time in her life where she felt got too caught up in the expectations that she missed being present in motherhood.

Thank you for all of your kind messages on episode 1. 🤍 The stories of solidarity you've shared with me, the depths of your hearts, I feel honored to be on the other end of those chats even if I hate how it connects us.
For those feeling the complexities of living in duality, navigating the every day of a season of joy with a season of grief, I see you. You're not alone.
That girl in the last frame of the video, she's smiling but she was holding so much pain in her heart. A relentless trauma weighing her down, while tiny kicks inside were lifting her hopes.
There's nothing like it, living life as a contradiction. But accepting that two things can coexist is the first step to sending some of the weight of those feelings free. 🤍
