If you're struggling with modern motherhood, you do not want to miss this episode. I brought back Liz Durham (host of the podcast Being Different), who has transitioned from being a full-time working mom to a full-time SAHM. She and I offer a countercultural guide for younger women who've been raised at a time in which motherhood has been sidelined or even rejected altogether.
We discuss (among other things):
- How dumping the 50-50 mindset will make the experience lighter.
- How it takes a family, not a "village," to raise healthy kids.
- That motherhood isn't about you.
- The significance of the first three years
- How to embrace the discomfort and the unknown
- How to deal with isolation
- Why daycare can't provide discipline
