7. Motherhood: What We Wish We Would’ve Known + An {EXTRA} Special Announcement
from HERself · host Abby and Amy
As first time moms, we both struggled. BIG issues for us were the preconceived notions of what it was supposed to look like and comparing everything from how our body looked to how we nurtured our kids. Our culture looks at motherhood with rose colored glasses and idealizes the experience. Only when we’re willing to open up and get honest, can we support each other by affirming that some of motherhood is just REALLY hard. This is what the episode is made to do. Asking for help, self-care, and keeping your adult relationships front of mind are all ways to help in these isolating times. Some situations may need the care of a professional and we want to NORMALIZE that. We hope the words and experiences are supportive and validating for you in whatever motherhood season you’re in.References:American Pregnancy Association StatsThe Marriage LabBowling Green University Stats on Divorce Let’s connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: instagram.com/abbyrosegreenHERSELF SHOWNOTES: www.herselfpodcast.com
