In this heartfelt episode of Hey Girl Hey with Becca, I talk about the bittersweet truth of motherhood: we are raising our children to one day live without us. As heavy as that sounds, it’s also one of the most beautiful reminders to slow down and soak in the moments that feel overwhelming, messy, and exhausting right now.


I share how this realization has shifted my perspective during the hard seasons of parenting. When you’re deep in the chaos of motherhood, it can feel like these days will last forever. But the truth is—they won’t. And sometimes that reminder is exactly what brings us back to the present moment.


This episode is a gentle encouragement for moms who feel like they’re not doing it perfectly (spoiler: none of us are). It’s about giving yourself grace, finding beauty in the ordinary days, and recognizing how powerful it is to have a community of women walking through the same season beside you.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure if you’re doing enough, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and that these fleeting moments of motherhood are worth slowing down for.
