More Than Mom: Romanticizing The Hard Stuff
from The Mom Hour
It isn’t always easy to appreciate the mundane tasks of our daily lives, or to see the glass half-full when something goes awry. Inspired by yet another social media trend that had us scratching our heads at first (and then reflecting in spite of our forty-something selves), today Meagan and Sarah talk about situations from our own lives where we romanticized the hard stuff to get by. Join us! LINKS MENTIONED: Sarah recommends reading this New York Times article to better understand the phrase “romanticize your life.” Meagan read a newsletter article by our friend Amy Clark of Mom Advice which inspired this episode. Meagan interviewed Melody Warnick about placemaking, and how making a commitment to communities helps romanticize the hard stuff. Listen to the MOR episode on this topic! Sarah is rereading the book How To Raise An Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haimes (This is an affiliate link) We’d love to hear from you about how you’re romanticizing the hard stuff in your life!

What this episode covers
It isn’t always easy to appreciate the mundane tasks of our daily lives, or to see the glass half-full when something goes awry. Your dishwasher breaking (and not being able to replace it) or eating beans for a week (to save money on groceries) doesn’t sound quite so romantic, does it? Well, thanks to a tik-tok trend (that happened to make it’s way to instagram), Meagan and Sarah are reframing some situations from our own lives where we romanticized the hard stuff to get by. Join us as we reflect, appreciate the small stuff and also question the way some influencers romanticize their daily tasks on social.
