from Experience Motherhood · host Liz Emmerich, MA, LPCC, RPT

Motherhood doesn’t always come naturally and when it feels hard, it’s easy to assume we’re doing something wrong. In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Shayla of Hey Shayla, a mom of three and creator known for her honest conversations about motherhood, mindset, and intentional living. Her perspective is a powerful reminder that joy isn’t something we earn by getting it right; it’s something we choose, even in the middle of exhaustion, mess, and uncertainty.In this episode, we cover:Why motherhood can feel harder than we expect and why that doesn’t mean you’re failingThe identity shift of matrescence and learning who you are after becoming a momHow comparison and social media quietly steal joy from everyday motherhoodPractical mindset shifts to help you find joy in your current seasonHow to create pockets of rest, fulfillment, and peace inside full, busy daysLetting go of perfection and embracing what works for your familyWhy joy is a daily practice, not a destinationThis conversation is gentle, grounding, and deeply relatable, especially if the joy of motherhood has started to feel distant.MENTIONS IN THE EPISODE:Connect with Shayla:On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyshayla On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heyshayla Check out Shayla’s website to get her Mindset Guide and Positive Mindset Flip Book: https://www.heyshayla.com/shop/ Listen to Shayla’s podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-shayla-judgement-free-motherhood/id1589893217  I'd love to hear your thoughts!
