2. Reality Check: You Cannot Do This Without Any Support
Are you pregnant and already wondering how you're going to take care of this child for 18 year? Are you dreading motherhood?
Listen, momma, I know you're strong and capable. Yes, without even knowing you, I know you can be a mother because us women are built for this. We can muster up the strength to do just about anything. But our babies didn't choose to enter our lives at an inconvenient time and they deserve a joyful, thriving childhood. Preparing for that starts now. During pregnancy.
In this episode I break down why we need a village based off of the kind of childhood we want to provide for our children. You deserve a joyful motherhood and your child deserves a joyful childhood! And it's so SO possible if you put in the effort now to seek out the support you need.
If you have no idea where to start finding your village, here are some organizations that might be able to help:
