Motherhood Cadence: Rhythms in Motherhood

In this episode, I’m discussing how often we feel the need to justify our time as stay at home moms or moms who run indie, freelance, and creative businesses from home. There is so much pressure to prove we’re “productive enough,” and it’s contributing to our burnout. This is a conversation for those moms who are running their own creative businesses, but feel like the creativity comes second. Like the business is treated as a hobby. It feels like everything else goes first and our art or creation is just the side; but it’s actually everything.Today’s conversation is for the freelancers, indies, self-employed moms who want to build businesses sustainably without burning out.

Ready to beat the burnout in motherhood and self-employment? Looking for tools to manage it all as a neurodivergent mom who wants to support her family her way, on her terms? My program is that support you're looking for: Cultivating Cadence ProgramWant to see more fulfilled, balanced, burnout-free mom life? Follow me on Instagram.**I think being a mom is very fulfilling work. It's also the hardest thing I've ever done - and am actively still doing. **Women should have the space and freedom to really consider if motherhood is for them. They should have the freedom to decide that it isn't. That doesn't take away from those of us who wanted to be moms and are doing the best we can. It just means they thoughtfully considered and chose otherwise. And I personally love that for them.No one around here should be saying "well, you chose this so suck it up." No, we're done with that narrative. Moms are tired of being miserable and lacking support. Those are valid complaints, even when we wanted to be moms and even when we love our kids. Moms deserve support, community, and the opportunity to speak up when it's hard.Women deserve support and community while trying to decide if motherhood is for them - and choosing no motherhood is a valid choice.Transcript This is a public episode.
