Episode 24: Early Motherhood – What I Expected vs. What Really Happened

from Between the lines with Laura and Jade - Introduction and Perfectionsim · host Laura and Jade

In this heartfelt episode, we reflect on the early years of motherhood—what we thought it would be like, and the reality that hit us like a sleep-deprived freight train. We talk about the biggest shocks, like the crushing lack of sleep, the feeling of losing yourself, and the constant need to adapt as your priorities shift. But also, the overwhelming, soul-changing love that makes it all somehow worth it. We also share why having a tribe of support—whether it’s friends, family, or fellow mums—made all the difference. 💛 Raw, real, and full of love—this one’s for every mum who’s been in the thick of it and every parent just trying to find their way.   Youtube:https://youtu.be/DGbFfyoqeeU  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572831111410    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/b.t.lpod?igsh=MWw1amxic3NzdGhhOA==  Email: [email protected]  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5gHdMHn8ZKKAm64V09hYWg  Lifeline: 13 11 14  The content discussed in this video is for general information purposes only.
