Ever feel overwhelmed when people say, “Savor every moment of motherhood”? 🙋♀️ In this episode, Aleea and Hav get real about the emotional ups and downs of parenting — from the guilt of not enjoying every phase to the pressure of staying positive all the time.
They unpack the difference between realistic positivity and toxic positivity, and why it’s okay to feel both grateful and exhausted. This is your reminder that you don’t have to love every moment to be a good mom.
Listen in for a reminder that it’s okay not to love every phase. It’s about giving yourself grace, letting go of guilt, and finding balance in the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
