Summary
This week I’m sitting down with someone who knows me better than anyone… my mom. And for the first time, we’re talking honestly about what it really takes to raise a family through hard seasons (she's been there!)
From navigating the stress of today’s world to balancing work, childcare, and identity… this chat is a reminder that motherhood has never been easy, but you’re not alone in it.
My mom shares what it looked like for her to raise me without help, how she handled financial uncertainty and overwhelming seasons, and the mindset that carried her through it all.
We chat about:
- How previous generations handled stress, work, and raising kids
- The emotional reality of postpartum identity and overwhelm
- Balancing work, childcare, and the pressure to “do it all”
- Why having support (or not having it) shapes the motherhood experience
- The role of faith, resilience, and mindset in hard seasons
- Why no phase of motherhood is ever “perfect”
