Ep. 78 Sh*t We Had No Idea About Until Becoming Moms: the invisible mental load, weird illnesses, mom guilt, & how we naturally evolve as women

Remember Ep. 74 when we shared all the sh*t we had no idea about until getting pregnant? Well, we’re back with the motherhood edition!

These are the things no one tells you about, the things you wish you heard before crossing over into mom life, and the things you truly can’t understand until you’re in it. From the invisible load we carry every single day to the way our friendships shift, to the crazy amount of illnesses our kids somehow pick up, this episode is a mix of hilarious, honest, and “oh my god, SAME.”

We’re talking:

• Why “bouncing back” isn’t what everyone makes it out to be
• The never-ending mom guilt and mental checklists
• The way kids change our perspective and slow down time in the most magical way
• The sick-every-other-week reality (and diseases we didn’t even know existed)
• How motherhood transforms you...intuition, boundaries, resilience, and figuring it all out on the fly
• Why multitasking as a mom deserves its own Olympic sport

Basically, motherhood is equal parts chaos and magic and we’re so proud of ourselves (and all of you) for embracing it all.

Let us know what some things were that you had no idea about until becoming a mom!
