The Land of the Motherload

The juggle is REAL. If you are a mama, no matter what phase of motherhood you are in, you can probably relate to that feeling of juggling it all especially those “invisible” things only you can see.  Once you become a mother, so many shifts inside of you, one being how your mind works. Being able to juggle is a superpower! However, sometimes it can get heavy, the balls drop, there’s too many mental tabs in our minds open and we start to feel overwhelmed with this MOTHERLOAD we carry. 

This conversation is a little longer than others we have had in previous episodes, but it DESERVES the FLOOR and space. 

Ugh, this even feels semi-taboo to even discuss. If we say we are overwhelmed, does that mean we are ungrateful? If we feel frustrated and alone in our motherhood role, does that mean we aren’t a “good mom”? Do we shove it down and just think to ourselves that “this is just part of being a mother” or “I signed up for this!"?  Most often not, we may hold back from confronting these emotions to ourselves or others. Motherhood is a super intimate journey, and we all operate differently, so I can see why not wanting to share our struggles (or juggles) can be quite vulnerable. Ultimately, we may feel fear of being judged. We get it. We do too.

BUT, we decided to go THERE anyways  // "The Land of the Motherload" conversation discusses what this invisible load means to us, raw pieces of how we walk through it or better yet stumble, and potential ways we are picking ourselves back up. We believe normalizing this overwhelm will help mamas feel seen so they CAN make changes where these see fit. After all, the motherload is tied to our mental health and that is SO important.  As always, we hope you can find a hidden gem to take with you from our conversation and either question it, get curious about it, learn from it, or bring back to your own circle. <3
