There's a quiet pressure in motherhood to enjoy every moment, to soak it all in, stay grateful, and appreciate every phase because "it goes so fast."

But what if that pressure is actually making motherhood feel heavier?

In this episode of Real Moms Welcome, Jess shares an honest, heart-to-heart conversation about the reality of motherhood seasons that are demanding, exhausting, and deeply human. She talks openly about navigating the emotional weight of constant boundary-pushing, and the guilt that can surface when you're not enjoying every moment, even when you love your child deeply.

This episode is a gentle permission slip to let moments be what they are, without forcing gratitude or meaning, and without making it mean something about your worth as a mother.

This episode is for you if:

• You love your kids but don't enjoy every part of motherhood
• You feel pressure to "soak it all in" even when you're exhausted
• You've felt guilt for wishing certain phases would pass
• You want more honestly and less perfection in motherhood

This conversation isn't about fixing yourself or reframing every moment into gratitude. It's about permission, honesty, and remembering that real motherhood includes the full range of human emotions and experience.
