About this listen
Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 2 of the (Mostly) Stay-at-Home-Mom podcast! Today we tackle a hard but necessary topic: the detours of motherhood.
Motherhood rarely follows our carefully laid plans, but there's hope in finding community and balance when things go differently than expected. The journey of parenthood often includes struggles with fertility, difficult pregnancies, traumatic births, feeding challenges, and other unexpected difficulties.
• Motherhood struggles can feel isolating when it seems like you're the only one experiencing them
• Finding a community of people who understand your specific struggle provides validation and support
• We need to discern what we can control versus what we need to accept
• There's a balance between taking action to change situations and surrendering to what we cannot change
• The Serenity Prayer offers wisdom for motherhood: accepting what we cannot change, changing what we can
• Self-awareness helps us know when to push harder and when to step back and give ourselves grace
