Can you believe it's been already four months since I became a mom!? Shay coming into my life was a dream come true, but it certainly has not been easy. Motherhood has been beautiful, wonderful, pleasurable, and fun. But motherhood has also been frustrating, depressing, so challenging, and uncertain. And since becoming a mom and experiencing all of this firsthand, I've realized something so important: there is a myth that circles the parenthood community of what makes a good mama. This myth is causing us so much emotional damage; we're talking about it today.

Along the way I dive into…

The myths of what it means to be a good mom and how not being able to do certain things can make us feel like we're failing.
The expectation on moms to be able to do everything alone and look good doing it.
The fact that making time for self-care during maternity doesn't make you a bad mother.
How joining a mom's community can be extremely helpful when it comes to receiving support.
