It's okay to admit that mom life feels harder than you ever thought it would be.

It's also okay to want it to feel easier. We're surrounded by mixed messages all day.

Keep a clean house but not too clean.

Take a rest mama, but not too long, that's just selfish.

Homemaking is dead, but you better still take care of everything every day.

We're told you have two choices.

Be Pinterest perfect or a 24-7 hot mess.

I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted and over it.

I'm Kendra Hennessy, founder of Mother Like a Boss,

and I put reluctant homemakers back in the driver's

seat of motherhood with realistic routines and

practical mindset shifts. I believe in empowering you to create a home that feels like a

safety net, not a tight rope. I believe in martyr-free motherhood that puts you

behind the wheel of your own life. As a mom of two,

I'm here to give you judgment-free strategies and have honest conversations that

equip you with what you need to live your absolute best mom life. Welcome to the

Mother Like a Boss podcast.

Here's what I know for sure. Mom life isn't one size fits all, but we compare ourselves

to one another like it is. So instead of finding the ways that work best for our family,

for our home, for our schedule, we constantly look at what she's doing over there, and then

we do one of two things. We either copy it only to find it didn't work, which only makes us feel like more of a failure.

Or we compare our lives to hers, which only makes us feel like more of a failure.
