The Whole Mama Show: Untold Stories of Motherhood

Ep. 41: You're Not the Only Mama Who Can't Let Go

Aisha O'Reilly Season 5 Episode 41

Do you ever feel like the world only values you for what you do — being the nurturer, the fixer, the always-on mom? You’re not alone.

In Season 5 Episode 1 of The Whole Mama Show, we explore how society has placed “nurturer” on motherhood like it’s the only badge that matters — and what happens when moms can’t let go of that. We talk about letting partners be hands-on, setting healthy boundaries, and reclaiming emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

This episode is for Black millennial mothers of young families who are ready to feel seen, rest easier, and start taking care of themselves too. You’ll gain insight into:
 • How to shift expectations at home so you’re not always doing it all
 • Ways to invite your partner into a more active role
 • Practical boundaries that protect your sanity and joy
