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.

Have you ever found yourself consumed with all of the things your babies SHOULD or SHOULDN'T be doing by a certain age? Keeping up with everything is f***ing hard, and it can be extremely tempting to internalize everything and doubt your ability as a parent.
But fear not! You aren't alone in this. In this week's episode, we're diving into how to identify some of your triggers around your child's development (it's not a reflection of you, we promise), and how to delicately remind people that not everything is their business! Also - and this is the important part - we'll talk about the ways in which milestones have become conflated with "achievement."
So buckle up and get ready to accept the fact that your baby's gonna crawl whenever the hell they want to!
Loving the show? We'd love your feedback!
