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'm Surrounded by Toxic Positivity
Have you ever paid close attention to the ways people respond to something you share that is pregnancy or motherhood-related? If not, after listening to this episode, you’re gonna. Because when you’re telling someone about the anxiety you have while your newborn is sleeping, it’s important to note that upwards of 0 people have been helped by hearing something to the effect of “just wait til they’re crawling!!!!”
This is something most, if not all, new moms can relate to. We can all recall that one time someone told us something that was so unhinged and horrifying, it truly caught us off-guard.
In this week’s episode, Erin and Ruby explore the ways in which people use toxic positivity (or is it just…toxic…?) when chatting with you about your pregnancy or postpartum experience. From sentences that start with the words “well, at least….” to comparing your lows to someone’s instagram highs, we’ll cover it all!
Loving the show? We'd love your feedback!
