Summary

It would be an understatement to say that we have been looking forward to having today’s guest, Dr. Molly Millwood, back on the podcast! If you’re a long-time listener of HERself, you undoubtedly remember when Molly was with us for Episode 10, which is actually our second most listened to episode of all-time, and one that Amy still receives the most personal messages about.

In this episode, Molly reminds us that not every part of motherhood is going to be enjoyable, and it’s ok to voice this out loud. She also helps us get a new perspective on the invisible load faced by so many women and mothers today, along with revealing why it really is time for us to start prioritizing our female friendships again, and a whole lot more.

If you enjoy this episode, we would love it if you shared it with a friend. Molly’s message is definitely one that needs to be shared with as many people as possible, and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, @molly.millwood.phd and @herselfpodcast and let us know your biggest takeaways!

0:00.0	I actually think that a lot of the time what we may want even more than to feel
0:06.2	that things are divided exactly evenly is to feel seen and appreciated for what
0:12.4	it is that we are doing.
0:16.5	I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to
0:22.8	others but your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self
