Chasing Dreams While Raising Kids—The Guilt, The Doubt & Why I Keep Going (Building Something for Myself as a Mom of 4)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mom of 4 shares the messy truth about chasing dreams while raising tiny humans—the guilt, the doubt, the lies she stopped believing, and why she refuses to wait.
I was deep in motherhood. Doing all the things. But I didn't recognize myself anymore.
I lost my passions. My hobbies. My identity outside of being a mom. And somewhere in the chaos of diapers, feedings, and sleep deprivation, I started believing a lie—that this wasn't my season. That good moms put their dreams on hold. That my time would come later.
But my dreams wouldn't let me rest.
In this episode, I'm getting honest about what it actually looks like to build something while raising four kids under six. I have a seven-month-old. I homeschool. I have no time. And I started a podcast anyway.
