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…SAHM Life has me Feelin’ all the Feels
We hear a lot about the “invisible load” of motherhood, and that’s almost always applied to stay-at-home moms. And what’s truly mind-blowing is that literally none of the work done by SAHMs is invisible!!! It’s constant! It’s ever-changing! You’re doing all the things everyone relies on! YOU. DON’T. STOP.
Whether you knew all along that you wanted to be a SAHM, or it was something that happened somewhere along the way, you’re allowed to struggle with parts of this. The nuance is a lot to try and hold alone (and that’s where we come in!!)
In this episode, Ruby and Erin explore some of the thoughts commonly heard in the therapy room or in their DMs, like how hard it is to ask for help, or how to pull yourself out of the “I do the same thing everyday” funk.
Loving the show? We'd love your feedback!
