Navigating Your Motherhood Journey: Real Advice from Real Moms
Show Notes:
[0:43] Intro
[1:45] Today's episode was actually inspired by one of our My Essential Birth Mamas from the birth course. She posted in the Facebook group asking, "I'm a young mom, and I've got a couple of children. I'm feeling overwhelmed and touched out by the time my husband gets home. Is this normal? I'm over stimulated, overwhelmed. I want to be nice to my kids. I want to be nice to my husband." What was awesome about it was there was just a flood of moms that were like, "Oh my gosh, I'm with you. I see you. I get it. And yes, it's normal."
So we reached out to some of our moms that had really great advice and we asked them to share it with you today.
[3:00] Chelsie's advice - "Don't sweat the small stuff."
[6:02] Rebekah's advice - "Give yourself time throughout the day." "When you have kids, you have to just lower your standards about what you're able to do. Even after the baby starts growing up, then you have to take care of this little one on top of everything else you're doing. So you just have to kind of change your expectations for all the things you're able to do during the day."
[10:59] Danielle's advice - "Motherhood is a constant adjustment of embracing what our rhythm of life looks like during each season, and a twin parent once told me it doesn't get easier it gets different."
[14:56] "Well, one thing that has helped me feel in control over the family and my own emotions when my kids are declining in their own emotions is to prepare ahead of time is to have dinner prepared."
"One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received from one mother to another was, put them in water or take them outside."
[23:08] Stephanie's advice - "I try really hard to compartmentalize and be present for my kids when they need me because they won't need me forever."
