Summary

I don’t know what it’s like to be a Mom. So I wanted to share the powerful reflections of a real life Mom—not an expert Mom or someone who has it all together—for three reasons. Because her voice, like yours, deserves to be heard and respected and honored. I think this will encourage A LOT of Moms so you feel seen. And you may want to ask/request that your husband listen to this as an early Mother’s Day gift so he really understands you.

0:00.0	So what is it like to be a mom? I don't know. I've never been one. So this podcast episode is going to be very different. I wanted to share the reflections and insights of a real life mom, not an expert mom or someone who has it all together. A real life mom named Jess from New England. She took a lot of time to share this with me,
0:22.3	and I want to share her thoughts verbatim with no changes for three reasons. One, because her
0:28.5	voice, like yours, deserves to be heard and respected and honored. Number two, I think this will

0:39.8	just play this again and hear her words or maybe talk about this with your friends and siblings.
0:47.0	Number three, you may want to ask your husband or even if you have kind of grown older kids to

1:45.0	It is to be a person completely deconstructed and broken down.
1:49.0	Maybe moms are like a phoenix. Just becoming a mom can be hard itself.
