This episode is for the mama who’s feeling tired, overwhelmed, and guilty for not loving every minute of raising toddlers. We’ll unpack my beef with the "motherhood is hard" narrative and go over a few small steps you can take to find joy when stay-at-home-mom-life feels overwhelming. Life may be anything but picture-perfect, but I hope you’ll leave this one feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that hard doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong and you will find joy again!
