Ep 2.13 - Not All Motherhood Is Created Equal

This week I'm getting into something that has been on my mind for a while: the idea that not all motherhood is created equal, and why that matters. I talk about officially stepping away from my job and what it's taken to fully accept that this is my season to be home, especially with a toddler, a second pregnancy, and some pretty intense solo parenting while Matt was working over 100 hours for multiple weeks in a row. We talk mental load, the notorious laundry pile, the nightly dishes ritual, and giving myself continued grace through all of it.We dive into the social media side of MOM culture… how it starts as a point of connection and relatability, then morphs into quiet, under-the-radar comparison. I found that keeping yourself in a sober mind when it comes to yours & your family unique circumstances is the key to making it out unscathed. I wrap up with a passage in The Magnolia Story by Joana Gains that cracked me wide open - reminding me its my season to trust Gods timing, especially when He’s calling me away from something I really love, but promising me something even better in return. If you’re an empathic cryer- get your tissues ready!
