46. Being the World's Okayest Mom with Amanda Gurman
If you struggle with being “good enough” and feel guilt for taking care of yourself, mama, this is for you!
Ever feel torn between the relentless demands of parenting and the whisper of self-care? Amanda and I open our hearts about the rollercoaster of emotions that come with the desire for alone time while raising kids.
We call bull on the guilt, the pressure to be a "good" mom, and the profound lessons learned as we figure out what authenticity means.
We talk about the significance of setting boundaries and embracing self-care as a non-negotiable part of motherhood.
We dissect the subtle art of using personal time to recharge and the courage it takes to parent solo when partners are away.
We call out the martyrdom narrative that social media often amplifies and craft a definition of motherhood that fits each person.
This episode is an invitation to normalize the discussions on maternal mental health struggles, recognizing that wanting to escape doesn't equate to failure as a parent.
Listen to this episode if you'd like to know about the gray areas of motherhood, embracing the notion that sometimes, being the "world's okayest mom" is not only enough; it's everything.
