The Mom Panel: We Were Never Meant to Do This Alone

This episode discusses the myriad challenges of modern motherhood. The hosts share personal anecdotes about their experiences with mental health struggles, economic stress, burnout, and the lack of intergenerational and community support. They explore how systemic issues like poor maternity leave policies and expensive childcare contribute to these struggles. The conversation also touches on the impacts of social media, with its often idealized portrayals of motherhood, adding pressure on parents. Additionally, they discuss the importance of forming a supportive community, even if it means creating a 'village' from scratch. Topics for future episodes are teased, including feeling invisible, resenting partners, and the guilt of wanting a break from kids.Support the showWant to be a guest on our podcast?
