The Mother Load - Parenting When You Are Breaking Open
from The Deep Pour · host Darcie Heck
Parenting while you’re falling apart on the inside should qualify you for some kind of medal… or at least a lifetime supply of coffee. This episode is my honest look at what it’s like to raise kids while your own life is doing that dramatic, cinematic slow-motion collapse. Some days I showed up patient and wise; other days I was one Lego away from losing it all. But in between the mess, I found this surprising truth: breaking open doesn’t make you a bad mother — it makes you a real one. And sometimes, the only way through is to laugh at the chaos while you sweep up the crumbs of whatever you dropped… metaphorically and literally.
