I Was Sold the Lie That Mothers Can “Have It All”

from Squiggly Motherhood | Reflective Motherhood, Honest Stories & Intentional Parenting · host Nicole

In this episode, I’m sharing what it really felt like entering a new year not with excitement, but with fear, pressure, and a lot of anger. After one of the hardest years of my life, I’m questioning the lie we’re sold as mothers that we can have it all.I talk honestly about identity loss, decision fatigue, imposter syndrome, and the fear of future regret. About feeling stretched too thin, time poor, and exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone.There’s no neat conclusion here, just real reflections as I figure out what I’m willing to sacrifice, what I’m not, and how I’m learning to prioritise myself again.If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because you can’t do it all, this episode is for you.Join our Community: https://squigglymotherhood.substack.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/squigglymotherhoodTiktok: https://tiktok.com/@squigglymotherhoodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/squigglymotherhoodIf you've got thoughts, questions, comments or feedback you can email me at [email protected] you've enjoyed the episode and would like to support me, buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/squigglymotherhoodHello Fresh Discount: https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/freebox/MzMxMTU1MzY1LTAtNC0xMS1HQg
