Nobody Shows the Real Shit: Why Fake Motherhood Content Is Stressing Us All Out

In this episode of Hot Mom Shit, I'm going somewhere I've been stewing on for a while, because there is zero accurate depiction of real motherhood anywhere. Not in movies, not on reality TV, not on social media. Nowhere.  I'm not coming for anyone. But I am coming for the beige outfits, the timestamped morning routines, and the 47th Amazon haul of the week because, momma, it's making all of us feel like we're failing, and we're not. In this episode I get real about:  Why The Valley might actually be one of the only shows doing it right and what Secret Lives of Mormon Wives missed the mark on The social media scroll that's leaving us feeling like garbage (and why it's literally designed to do that) Amazon hauls, storefronts, and the closet full of clothes I bought and never wore two months postpartum The timestamped morning routine content that makes me want to throw my phone across the room Why I'm in my "unfollow everything that makes me feel like sh*t" era The 2018 concealer confession you didn't know you needed to hear What my actual nighttime routine looks like…and it includes a toddler slapping my butt This one's for the mom who opened Instagram today and closed it feeling worse than when she opened it.
