In this episode, I want to explore a different perspective on motherhood. Honestly, I have been hesitant to talk about this topic as it feels very controversial and goes against societal norms - but this conversation has been brewing for some time.
It is about the narrative around motherhood feeling hard, or more specifically the narrative that motherhood should feel hard.
In this episode, you will learn:
How to question and become really intentional about motherhood when things are feeling hard.How to explore the difference between genuine difficulties and created complexities in motherhood.How to open yourself up to possibilities that things could be different.I need to mention here that not a single part of this episode is intended to invalidate how you are feeling in motherhood but instead, I hope it really helps you find little areas in your life that you could embrace the possibility of simplicity in motherhood.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this one!
