In this episode I discuss how managing motherhood is more about moving through it and learning along the way. We don’t really manage mothehood, motherhood manages us. Society often silences the struggles of mothers, but it’s important to have support and express our true feelings about motherhood some days. It’s okay to have regrets and struggles in motherhood. To navigate motherhood, it’s important to let go of mom guilt, remove codependency, and embrace imperfections. Creating space and finding a community for moms who haven’t had a great experience is crucial. Social media often portrays a perfect image of motherhood, but it’s important to show self-compassion and prioritize self-care. Setting boundaries, managing time, and finding a supportive tribe are key to managing motherhood.

Summary

On this very personal episode, I discuss the process of grieving the loss of an already estranged parent. This loss is a complex and emotional process. It is so important to allow yourself to grieve and process the emotions associated with losing a parent that was already gone from your life. It’s a different pain when you have been abandoned by this parent and now they are gone. It’s also important that you find healing and give yourself grace while navigating the loss of an estranged parent. They may have not been with us when we needed them, but I strongly believe they are with us now.

In this eye-opening episode of Mum’s True Tea, I dive deep into the emotional toll that motherhood can take on mental health, including how it can lead to PTSD. I explore the backlash I received for speaking this truth, especially as a single mom. Society often paints motherhood as a joyful experience, but for many, it’s far from the truth. Single moms face intense financial, emotional, and physical burdens, often with little to no support from partners, family, or their community. We discuss the harsh realities of absent fathers and the lack of understanding from those who fail to recognize the struggles single moms endure. Plus, why men who despise single moms often have unresolved issues of their own. Let’s shed light on these tough truths and call for the support and empathy single mothers deserve.
