In honor of Mother’s Day, today the hosts are taking a bit of turn and chatting about some of the things we don’t like about motherhood. We delve into the challenging aspects of motherhood that are sometimes not discussed openly due to fear of judgment or mom-shaming. The hosts share their personal experiences with the emotional and physical demands of motherhood, highlighting the duality of joy and struggle that defines their everyday lives.

The conversation turns to the common issue of mother’s neglecting their own health and well-being as they prioritize their families' needs over their own. Women feel obligated to be caretakers, which means we put others’ needs before our own. As moms it can feel awkward or selfish to shift the balance from taking care of everyone else to taking care of ourselves.
