I said it, and I mean it.

If you are dreading the Mother's Day ahead of you or if you suffered through the one behind you, listen in for how to opt out of the distressing parts of this fake holiday.

We get to love our children and hate f-ing Mother's Day. And maybe more ease as a working mother is on the other side of ditching what is not working for us.

Picking up where we left off in the last episode, tune in to hear how to end your negotiations with your non-negotiables. As working mothers, we need concrete tools that we can put to use immediately.

Let's dive into why ending the negotiations matter, whether we want to make improvements in our own individual lives or for the whole of society. The hamster wheel of arguing with our non-negotiables is getting us nowhere, and it is time to get off!

From where I stand, you have two non-negotiables. 

You are working. 

You are a mother. 

Working motherhood is non-negotiable for us. So why do we spend so much time arguing with our reality? Why are we constantly fantasizing about quitting our jobs? More importantly, what are we not doing while we are locked in mental gymnastics trying to negotiate with our non-negotiables?

Congratulations, you're having an identity crisis!

Did you know that your baby would come with an identity crisis? Even if you knew from reading a book or talking to another mom that working motherhood would be a massive change, actually undergoing the change catches us all by surprise. 

It's internal change, external change, emotional upheaval, physical recovery, and a dozen other adjustments all at the same time and all while exhausted and disoriented. The stakes are high for us, and our resources are low. 

Luckily, we have a way to normalize what we are experiencing, start to move through the identity crisis, and reorient ourselves as working mothers. Listen in to find out more!

Working motherhood is not a raw deal! The faster we all reject the baseline narrative for working mothers in our society that we are getting a raw deal, the faster our lives start to improve. We regain our agency. We stop blaming our innocent children for subjecting us to the raw deal. And we start gathering genuine support. Listen in to hear more about how the raw deal narrative might be undermining all of your efforts to improve your situation as a working mother.
