The Fatigue of Motherhood

In this episode, we discuss the fatigue of being a mother. Motherhood can be, and usually is a wonderful experience! But there are also difficult aspects to being a mother which are sometimes not discussed, or are discouraged from being discussed. There is a shame some women feel, or are made to feel, if elation and fulfillment are not the only emotions conveyed around the experience of mothering. We discuss how important it is to allow mothers to acknowledge when they need, that they are struggling or having a difficult time. Being in a psychological space of overwhelm or exhaustion does not make you a bad mother. My co-host, Lauren Supina and I go deeper on this subject, and ways we can help ourselves, and other mothers get through difficult time.
