  • Bonus: How to Navigate Mother's Day, even With Loss

    Bonus: How to Navigate Mother's Day, even With Loss
    May 11 2025
    🌷 The Untold Truth About Mother's Day Grief 🌷

    In this special bonus episode, I open up about my personal Mother's Day journey - one marked by loss, single motherhood, and finding strength through pain. Twenty-seven years ago, my mother passed away on Mother's Day at just 50 years old, forever changing how I experience this holiday. Now as a single mom myself, I've navigated the complexities of celebrating motherhood while processing grief.

    💔 When Mother's Day Hurts: You're Not Alone

    Mother's Day isn't all brunches and flowers for everyone. Whether you've lost your mother, have a strained relationship, are estranged from your children, or are struggling with infertility - your complicated feelings are valid. This episode creates space for the authentic, messy reality many face during this celebrated holiday.

    🤱 Society's Mom Expectations vs. Reality

    As mothers, we're expected to be perfect - managing households, careers, and children flawlessly. Yet society rarely honors the tremendous emotional labor we carry daily, including the weight of mom guilt. This episode explores how these expectations affect our wellbeing and why we deserve recognition beyond just one day per year.

    ✨ Self-Care Strategies for Difficult Holidays

    Discover practical ways to honor yourself this Mother's Day, whether you're celebrating, grieving, or somewhere in between. Learn how prioritizing your own wellbeing models healthy self-value for your children and strengthens all your relationships.

    🌈 Creating New Traditions That Honor Your Truth

    It's okay to celebrate, grieve, or let the day pass quietly. This episode provides permission to experience Mother's Day authentically, creating space for both joy and sorrow. By sharing our stories, we deepen our connections rather than diminishing celebrations.

    Why does this matter? Because motherhood is complicated, and pretending otherwise only deepens our isolation. By acknowledging the full spectrum of Mother's Day experiences, we can release the guilt, honor our journeys, and find genuine connection.
