Some days I don’t want to be “the mom.” Not because I don’t love my daughter—because I do, deeply—but because the mental load is a lot. From the emotional labor to the constant planning and worrying, motherhood can feel all-consuming. In this episode, I talk about the invisible load we carry, the grief of not being our old selves, and the beauty in carving out moments where we get to just be us again.
I explore what it feels like to want space, how support systems shape our ability to be present, and why giving ourselves permission to not feel like a mom for a minute can actually make us better ones. It’s a raw, honest reflection on identity, presence, and the messy, beautiful push and pull of it all.
