Motherhood—the word alone conjures up images of warmth and nurturing, but those of us in the thick of it know there's a whole other side to that coin. 

Join me and my guest, Roxanne Francis, as we pull back the curtain on the realities of parenting, far from the sanitized, smiley-faced version we're often sold. 

Our heart-to-heart explores everything from the overwhelming moments of caring for a newborn to the isolation that can lurk in early parenthood, all while celebrating the bittersweetness of raising kids. 

Just because we’re therapists, it doesn't mean that we have it all together as mothers.

Sometimes things can fall apart, and it's okay to take a moment to yourself and cry. You don't have to be perfect, and it's okay to not have all the answers. Sometimes just showing up is enough.

"I'm grateful for the support that helped me get through those tough times. That's why I believe it's important to cultivate meaningful relationships because we can't navigate this life alone." Roxanne Francis

So, how do you make motherhood suck less, without adding more things to your already full plate? Tune in for a conversation that promises to be a beacon of light for any parent in search of solace, solidarity, and a dash of sanity.
