It’s Okay Not to Love Every Moment of Motherhood with Dr. Margo Lowy – 365

from Less Drama More Mama

"Mothering is messy and interrupted and loving." "Motherhood is about making mistakes and repairing them. And that's how we learn." "As moms, we do our best. We make it up as we go along and we muddle through." Those are some of the things Dr. Margo Lowy wishes someone had told her earlier in her parenting, and it’s exactly what she shares in this week’s episode of the podcast. Dr. Lowy is a psychotherapist and the author of ​Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments & Bitter Truths of Motherhood​. She holds a PhD from the University of New South Wales, where she researched maternal ambivalence, and she’s a columnist for Psychology Today. In our conversation, we discussed the parts of motherhood no one likes to talk about... the moments when you don’t feel loving, when your kid is being a "little sh*t," and you wonder if you’re even cut out for this. Dr. Lowy brings compassion and clarity to the feelings so many moms carry quietly, and helps you see them not as failures, but as part of the full, human experience of being a mom. Tune in for this compassionate, grounded insight that every mom needs to hear.
