The Whole Mama Show: Untold Stories of Motherhood
Ep. 41: You're Not the Only Mama Who Can't Let Go
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
