About this listen

Hi everyone!

Wow, as I typed those words into the title, it really hits me that I have been a parent for 3 years. My son celebrated his birthday recently, and as much as it is a mark of his existence, it is also the celebration of the parents for their growth and journey into this new life. Stephen, my husband, joins me in talking about our past 3 years: what we have learned, what we have enjoyed about each stage of our lives, and also an insight to the birthday parties we threw for our son. We also have a debate halfway through the episode about whether I was right or Stephen (I know there's team Ilyana's out there!)

Needless to say, we had fun talking about our lives and how much it had changed. We love being parents, even though it is exhausting and trying sometimes. As I say in the beginning, I love being my son's mother, but being a mother can be hard. I have also learned to let go of the guilt, the guilt that I should be loving motherhood, by giving myself grace when I don't. That I am going through a hard phase right now and it too shall pass. If you are there with me, mamas, you are not alone and you are doing great!.


Much love,


Ilyana
