Grace, Grit, and Getting It Wrong: What Motherhood Actually Teaches You

You think you know yourself. And then you become a mom.In Episode 4 of Off The Agenda with TLC, Tonichi, Larah, and Claire set aside their leadership hats and get into the role that changed them most: motherhood. This is their Mother's Day episode, and it is exactly what you would expect from three women who never do anything halfway.They talk about who they were before: the ambitious one, the happy-go-lucky one, the self-directed one who lived by a strict rule book, and what happened to all of that the moment a child arrived and quietly rewired everything.From Larah's moment of laser-sharp instinct when Max choked on an M&M, to Tonichi becoming fiercer and softer at the same time as a young single mom, to Claire learning that grace is not about being gentle -- it is about staying faithful even on the days it is hard to love them. This episode goes there.They also ask their kids. And the answers will get you.90% of motherhood is sacrifice. The other 10% is incomparable.
