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.

I Love My Baby, And...I Hate Being A Mom

If the title of this episode made you cringe, you aren’t alone. We are conditioned to believe that we can’t possibly hate being a mom when it’s the single greatest, most fulfilling joy of our lives. How could we even, for a moment, not love every second of this experience!?
So, let’s take a step back and look at every other experience and identity in our lives. They are full of duality. How can motherhood be any different?
On this week’s episode of I Love My Baby, And…Erin and Ruby dive head first into what it means to hold space for these dualities and (and this is the important part) remove the icky self-judgment associated with it!
Loving the show? We'd love your feedback!
