You're listening to the Confident Mom podcast.

I'm Trish Blackwell, your host and confidence coach.

And this is a podcast community for busy moms who want to be confident that they are being the best version of themselves they can be so that ultimately they can be confident moms to the little ones God has given them.

I'm a first time mom learning the ropes of motherhood and humbly learning from those who have gone before me on the beautiful journey it is to be a mom.

Welcome to the show. Welcome to the Confident Mom community.

Hey everyone. Welcome to the show.

This is episode number two of the Confident Mom podcast, and I am pretty excited to be talking today about what people don't talk about.

So today's episode you saw was entitled, What Moms Don't Talk About.

Now, if you know me and you follow me in my other show or in my blog

and my writings, you know that I am committed to being the type of person that talks about the

kind of stuff that other people don't, that we all want to talk about, but we are all so

secretly afraid to mention or talk about. So, you know, I want to bring light to things that we just kind of shove into the darkness.

I want to lift up the rug and sweep out the dirt that we've pushed underneath it.

So today, we are talking about what moms don't talk about and what we need to talk about more.

But first, let's start with an inspirational quote on motherhood.

nothing for the possibility of everything so as you guys know um

beautiful quote uh i need to say something at that quote i love that that i sometimes i can just

stop in awe and realize what a miracle motherhood is and you y'all i'm only six months in so this is all even

all the more new for me but it was so trite to hear it before yeah yeah motherhoods it's a miracle um i'm a

miracle to my mom like the all of that the intricacies of of you know passing on these generations
