Today’s episode is a little different. I wrote a poem that came out of one of my ugliest, hardest moments as a mom.
Yep, I’m talking about those awful moments where overstimulation takes over…and I don’t recognize myself anymore.
If you’re a mom who loves your kids fiercely, never wanting to be an “angry parent,” but…you find yourself overwhelmed, exhausted, and drowning in guilt afterward? You’re in the rig...
Ever found yourself awake at 10:47 p.m., the house finally quiet, doomscrolling your way through a spiral of “parenting tips” that somehow convince you you’re destroying your child’s future over a toothbrush?
If so, HI, you’re in good company!
I hear this all the time in sessions, and honestly, I’m in it too. We’re the first generation of parents who’ve been handed oceans of contradictory information at all h...
If you’re already feeling stretched thin, overstimulated, or one minor inconvenience away from screaming into a pillow this holiday season…you’re in the right place.
I personally love the holidays (especially Christmas), but once I became a parent, this “magical” season started feeling a whole lot more like a juggling act.
Moms don’t “experience” the holidays - we project-manage the holidays. We’re the magic ...
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Who the hell let me be in charge of these tiny humans?!”, you’re NOT alone.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that sooo many moms quietly carry, but rarely name out loud: imposter syndrome. It’s that voice that whispers you’re not doing enough, you’re not patient enough, and you’re not “good” enough.
The truth is, most of us are just trying to keep it ...
Let’s talk about something most of us are deeply familiar with, but have a hard time naming: the mental load of parenthood.
It’s that constant “hum” in your brain - the never-ending to-do list of appointments, permission slips, groceries, school lunches, and sooo much more. It’s not just the physical tasks - it’s the THINKING about the tasks.
You’re not imagining it - that invisible project management role is...
Motherhood changes EVERYTHING, but not *just* in the obvious ways.
It’s not only about the baby coming home, or the routines that shift. It’s about the invisible transitions that shake us up from the inside out.
As women, we pour so much love into our babies, but somewhere along the way, we start to wonder, “Who the hell am I now?”
That identity shift is sooo real, and it’s something so many moms experie...
Motherhood was always something I looked forward to. I dreamed about it, romanticized it, and thought I knew exactly what to expect.
But…when it actually happened, it was NOTHING like the picture I had in my head. I loved my baby so much, but I didn’t recognize myself anymore.
I soon had two kids under two, and outwardly, I probably looked fine. On the inside though? I was drowning.
As a licensed therapis...
Parenthood changes everything - your routines, your relationships, your career, and even your sense of self.
But…what if those changes could actually become a source of purpose and wellbeing?
Hosted by Taryn Zweygardt, therapist and perinatal mental health specialist, Reproductively Speaking is a space for honest conversations about the parts of parenthood that don’t always make it into everyday talk (but, we’...
