Summary
Motherhood, like life, is a series of ever-changing seasons. There are ebbs and flows, and sometimes curveballs we didn't expect. The key isn't to learn how to avoid the changes, but how to roll with them.
I had the pleasure of inviting Meagan Francis on the show today, a mom of 5 and one half of the wildly popular podcast The Mom Hour. We talk about her start in the mom blogosphere and our similar takes on the often dangerous "hot mess mom" culture.
Meagan throws down a lot of truth and doesn't hold back. Our conversation was honest and open about the realities of motherhood and how to get through them without being a martyr.

| 0:12.0 | Hey mamas, I'm Kendra Hennessy, |
| 0:13.7 | mom of two spunky kids of my own, |
| 0:15.4 | and after 10 years in the motherhood game |
| 0:17.6 | and owning a house cleaning business, |
| 0:19.4 | I discovered that moms need more than just to clean home. |
| 0:22.2 | They need encouragement, support, and the permission to be, |
| 0:25.3 | as I like to say, just a little bit homemakerish. |
| 0:28.1 | I'm on a mission to give the reluctant homemakers of the world |
| 0:30.9 | the tools, the strategies, and the systems that will help you simplify your life |

| 0:51.2 | themselves. This is the Mother Like a Boss podcast. |
| 0:57.8 | I've really resisted the word chores for a long time. Even the word itself, it's a word we use to describe something |
| 1:05.7 | we don't want to do. When something isn't fun to do, we say it's a chore. So no |
