About this listen

In this episode of Life’s a Mom, I’m diving into the whole “Pinterest Mom vs. Real Mom” thing. Yes, I admit it — I love the Pinterest side of motherhood. The balloon arches, the themed playdates, the little details… it’s my thing. But here’s the truth: behind every curated photo is still the chaos, the meltdowns, and the very real moments that don’t make it online.


I share some funny stories, a little real talk about the pressure of social media, and even what therapists say about why some of us cling to those perfect family photos. I also open up about how even with help, motherhood is still hard — and how much respect I have for moms doing it with little or no support.


If you’ve ever scrolled Instagram and felt like you’re not enough, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that our kids don’t need perfection — they need us.
