I Love My Baby, And...
Motherhood is awesome. But not always. Holding space for the best parts of motherhood seems impossible when the challenging parts feel really heavy – and vice versa! Erin, licensed therapist, and Ruby, licensed therapist candidate, hold nothing back when talking about the dual realities associated with this chaotic, wonderful, hard, hilarious, sad, and undeniably happy part of life. This podcast is a place for community. Submit your thoughts, feelings, or wonderings to our voicemail box or email, and let’s talk about it! We can't wait to hear from you.

Prior to having children, did you ever think you would feel lonely while CONSTANTLY being around/relied upon by your babies? This bizarre phenomenon can happen when you least expect it.
And that's why we're here for you!
On this week's episode, Erin and Ruby discuss what it means to feel lonely without ever having much time physically alone. From changed relationships with your parents to changed relationships with yourself, loneliness and early motherhood are familiar friends. But, as with all friendships in your life, boundaries are critical.
