In this episode of Real Moms Welcome, Jess and Alanna sit down for a real, unfiltered conversation about motherhood, identity, and what happens when becoming a mom cracks parts of us open we didn’t even know were there.

We talk about the moments when motherhood feels destabilizing — when relationships shift, things get messy, and it feels tempting to believe something must be “wrong” with us. Instead, this conversation gently explores how those moments are often invitations to listen more closely, adjust our support, and come back into relationship with ourselves.

This is not a conversation about fixing yourself. It’s about honoring the season you’re in, trusting yourself, and remembering that you already have access to the awareness and capacity you need to support yourself through motherhood’s transitions.
