Mom of 4 shares her honest journey through motherhood loneliness, why community matters, and what to expect from The Mom Dept Podcast.

No one warned me motherhood would feel this lonely—even with 4 kids and a full life.

I'm Deborah, and in this first episode of The Mom Dept, I'm pulling back the curtain on my journey into motherhood. From the party girl who just wanted to have a good time, to a mom of 4 who found herself scrolling motherhood apps looking for community at 2am.

Motherhood isn't one job—it's like running an entire company. There's the marriage department, the career department, the postpartum department, and the home economics department. And I created this podcast because I was tired of pretending I had it all figured out.

In this episode:

• Who I was before kids and what I thought motherhood would be
• The reality check that hit hard—sacrifice, loneliness, and losing myself
• The gap I noticed in motherhood content (and why I'm filling it)
• What's coming on The Mom Dept—career, marriage, birth stories, grief, and the hard stuff no one warns you about

If you're stuck between curated perfection and chaotic mess—if you just want real—this is your space.
