219. The Duality of Motherhood: Loving Deeply, Living the Contradictions
Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also messy, complicated, and full of contradictions. We love our kids more than anything, yet we’re exhausted. We give endlessly, but still need space for ourselves. We show patience one moment and lose it the next. In this episode, we open up about the duality of motherhood, the push and pull between joy and struggle, selflessness and self-care, and how embracing both sides can help us feel less alone in the journey.
