Mother’s Day is supposed to be a celebration—but for many moms, it can feel more like a setup. Whether you’re a new mom, a mom of teens, or navigating the quiet of an empty nest, the pressure to have a picture-perfect day—thanks to society and social media—can leave you feeling unseen, disappointed, or even forgotten.
In this episode, we’re exposing The Mother’s Day Scam—the unrealistic expectations that creep in and the silent comparison game that steals our joy. We’ll talk about why this day hits differently for moms in every season, how our culture distorts what motherhood should look like, and how to shift our focus from performance to purpose.
If you’ve ever felt let down on a day meant to lift you up, you’re not alone. Let’s reset our expectations and Take Back Our Happy not just on Mother’s Day, but every day.
