I Love My Baby, And...
Motherhood is awesome. But not always. Holding space for the best parts of motherhood seems impossible when the challenging parts feel really heavy – and vice versa! Erin, licensed therapist, and Ruby, licensed therapist candidate, hold nothing back when talking about the dual realities associated with this chaotic, wonderful, hard, hilarious, sad, and undeniably happy part of life. This podcast is a place for community. Submit your thoughts, feelings, or wonderings to our voicemail box or email, and let’s talk about it! We can't wait to hear from you.
I Love My Baby, And...
I Love My Baby, and...I'm Trapped in the Game of Comparison
If we know that “comparison is the thief of joy,” why the f&^% can’t we stop doing it?! You're struggling to accept that you aren't the mom you thought you'd be, you're consumed with your feelings about that, but you can't stop watching strangers on the internet do motherhood perfectly.** Dare we call it…a sick obsession?
In this week’s episode, Erin and Ruby explore the impact that social media has on the postpartum experience (think: momfluencers), the toll it takes on your relationship with your partner, & the way it alters your relationship with yourself.
BONUS: this episode formally gives you permission to unfollow any social media accounts that make you feel like crap about yourself!!
**this is absolutely not a thing
