There are so many parts of motherhood we're told to celebrate, but what about the things we don't talk about?
In this episode, I talk with Ivy Brooks, a digital marketing strategist, homeschooling mom, and former tokophobia sufferer. Ivy opens up about her emotional journey through pregnancy, birth trauma, and the early days of motherhood and how healing didn't come from pretending it was perfect, but from being honest about what she felt.
We talk about the pressures to bond instantly, the fear of getting it wrong, and the life-changing moment she discovered tools and community that helped her shift from fear to connection. Ivy also shares how motherhood led her to a mission-driven career and partnership with LittleOne.care, a baby wellness monitor designed to support early development and parent-child bonding.
