'Mental load' has been thrown around a lot lately, and I 100% can relate. We all suffer. In this episode we talk through the massive transformation of mental load pre vs post mom, the intense but finite season of it, and potential ways to lessen the load.

Time seems to always slip through my fingers, even while I am spending the most time I've ever had with my girls. Becoming a mom has made me think of mortality in a completely different way, and I'm disciplining myself to be more present daily so I can make the most of this precious season.

Mom guilt seems like something we all suffer from. I struggled with little guilts, big guilts and everything in between - from the lack of baby nursery to sending my first to daycare at 4 months 9hrs a day. Can we ever be free from mom guilt? Why do we feel guilty? Is guilt always a bad thing?

Have an open conversation with me about this!

Our hormones go WILD during pregnancy, labor, then postpartum. It's a time where the 'norm' is 'crazy'. In this podcast episode, I dive deep with my therapist (who has helped me heal from birth trauma) about what is normal, what the signs/symptoms are for PPD, Anxiety, OCD, and Birth Trauma. This made me feel so seen and encouraged that we are not alone going through this crazy journey of becoming a mom!

The crazy transformation of becoming a mom starts from pregnancy, and really hits hard during the labor and birthing process. This is a real, raw, and relatable episode about how it went for me. No epidural (not by intention), and an almost 9 pound baby...

I went from super selfish, immature, career-obsessed woman who looked down on SAHMs. Now, I quit my job (2 months ago) and I AM a SAHM! WHAT? What happened?
