Episode 9: Call Waiting | This Too Shall Pass (But First, Coffee): Embrace Each Season of Motherhood

Tired eyes, full heart, messy bun, CAN'T LOSE—welcome to the season you're in. In this Call Waiting mini-episode, Amey (IBCLC), Lauren (labor nurse), and Charity (bodyworker) dive into the ever-changing seasons of motherhood with a caller—because everything truly is just a season. From sleepless nights to joyful milestones, Charity, Lauren, and Amey remind us that while the days may feel long, the years are short—and undoubtedly messy. Together, they share personal stories, honest reflections, and practical insights on navigating chaos with grace, prioritizing what really matters, and letting go of the myth of perfect balance. Because let's be real, motherhood has no balance—just snacks, mayhem, and love. The conversation also shines a light on the importance of self-care, mental health, and building a supportive community. And because self-care isn't all green juice and yoga, we share our favorites: terrible reality TV, spicy books, and those everything showers that feel like a mini vacation. Whether you're in a season you love or one that feels impossibly hard, this episode is here to remind you that you're not alone, it's okay to ask for help, and that your kids will remember the simple, loving moments most. Tune in for encouragement, laughter, and a gentle reminder to embrace the mess, lean on your people, and find joy in the journey. ✨ In this episode, you'll hear about: Finding balance is a myth; focus on what matters. Your kids will cherish simple moments with you. Self-care is essential for mental well-being. It's okay to not love every season of motherhood. Sharing experiences can help others feel less alone. Seeking help for mental health is important and valid. Community support is vital for mothers. Embrace the chaos and find joy in the journey.   ✨ Fridays are for Call Waiting — our weekly mom-friend call-in segment where real moms share raw, hilarious, and relatable stories you won't hear in the school pickup line. 🎧 Got a story?
