YME Episode 07 - Armpit Meets Butt Real Mom Life & Failing Forward

Welcome to You're Mom Enough, the podcast for moms who love their kids but miss themselves a little too.

In Episode 7, "Armpit Meets Butt: What Real Mom Life Is," Shawna and Cara dive deep into the hilarious and often frustrating reality of "failing forward" in motherhood.

From forgetting diapers an hour away from civilization to the challenges of breastfeeding and dealing with unexpected diaper rashes, they share their personal "epic fail" moments.

But beyond the laughs, this episode offers a powerful message: these aren't failures, but moments of learning and growth that shape you into the mom you're meant to be.

They discuss the importance of giving yourself grace, the value of non-judgmental friendships, and why chasing perfectionism only leads to burnout.

This isn't a parenting podcast; it's a place to explore who you are now and who you are still becoming, without the guilt.
