The Fear of Becoming a Mom Nobody Talks About ft. Amanda Hirsch

from The Parent Chat with Dylan Dreyer · host Dylan Dreyer, Amanda Hirsch

Dylan Dreyer sits down with Amanda Hirsch — host of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast and mom of two boys — for a conversation about the fear nobody warned you about before becoming a mom. Not the diaper fear, the "what if I lose myself entirely and only care about snack schedules forever" fear. Amanda gets honest about how she nearly talked herself out of motherhood, the checklist she made before taking the leap, and what actually happened to her career once she had kids. Plus: parenting confessions, spicy takes, and a deeply spiritual conversation about why kids need water the second you try to leave their room. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
