Episode 7: Moms on Edge with Tiffani Pugliese (Part 2)

In this powerful and honest continuation of our conversation, I sit back down with my friend Tiffani for Part Two of “Moms on Edge.”After Episode 4 aired, we were overwhelmed by the response. So many of you reached out asking for more—more honesty, more vulnerability, more real-life conversations about motherhood and mental health.So we came back.In this episode, we go deeper into what it truly looks like to be moms who are navigating mental illness, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to “do it all” while still trying to protect our peace.We open up about:    •    Living with Bipolar II and Borderline Personality Disorder    •    How mental health impacts motherhood    •    The emotional weight moms carry behind closed doors    •    Being a mom of an only child and why we chose that path    •    Learning that being “selfish” can actually be healthy    •    Choosing what’s best for you so you can be your best for your childWe also talk honestly about the decision to have one child and why that choice isn’t about “missing out”—it’s about survival, stability, and stewardship of our mental and emotional health.This episode is a reminder that:You are not weak for needing boundariesYou are not selfish for protecting your mental healthYou are not failing if your family looks different than othersYou are doing the best you can and that matters.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, guilty, isolated, or unsure if you’re “enough” as a mom, this conversation is for you.A Gentle ReminderIf this episode brings up heavy emotions for you, please know you’re not alone. There is strength in seeking support, community, and professional help.
