EP591. In this solo episode, I’m diving into your questions and comments… and let’s just say, I did not hold back.

We’re talking about the real, messy, nuanced parts of motherhood that don’t get enough honest airtime. From navigating a recent ADHD diagnosis while parenting, to the emotional weight of deciding whether to have another child, to the guilt that can come with choosing to be “one and done” and the constant questioning yourself!

One listener shares her struggle with accepting the idea of raising an only child while trying to prioritize her mental health, marriage, and capacity, and I break down why this decision is far more complex (and valid) than people make it seem.

We also get into the toddler years struggle that some of us experience, and the hope (yes, there is hope) of reconnecting with who you are outside of motherhood as your child gets older and gains independence.

This episode is long, honest, a little all over the place! My favourite!
