In 2021 the pressure we put on ourselves as moms to be all and do all is at an all time high. Today's mama is a longtime surfer who admits she is still adjusting to motherhood-after almost 3 years. Katherine Gethardt, mom of a toddler & former model/ actor, talks about learning to accept her new identity& body more openly. She also shares about how intense sleep deprivation in new motherhood can be, how co-sleeping is sometimes frowned upon, and how it's okay to not always fit into one motherhood box!
Today we talk about:
- Choosing to have a child later in life and being considered an "older mom"
- The identity shifts that went along with returning to the water as a new mama
- Learning to accept her new body postpartum and realizing that her former world in the modeling industry wasn't healthy for body image.
- Navigating the physical changes that go along with new motherhood
- How she chose to co sleep with her son and how it made her felt guilt.
- How sleep deprivation affected her personally, and how it can change our entire lives.
- How she tries to eliminate mom guilt from her life, but it's not always easy
