304: Motherhood is hard. This helps.

Motherhood is hard. 

It’s draining emotionally and physically. If you’re struggling with your motherhood, I hope this episode can help.

The episode starts with a personal story from my life, something that I wrote for a motherhood website back in 2015, and I’m so glad I captured the memory when it was fresh because I think every mother can relate to it. So enjoy this encore episode, all about the power of moments within motherhood.

3 Takeaways on Finding Help when Motherhood is Hard:

 

  1. Use your five senses to absorb a perfect moment. When a beautiful moment with your kids is happening, notice it. Drink it in. Put your phone away and tap into all five senses to really make it last.
  2. Write down at least one perfect moment each day in order to relive it. And as you’re writing, don’t forget to include those sensory details to make the memory come alive.
  3. Share those perfect moments with the people you love most. Make it a habit to regularly share your moments with your partner as you get into bed at night or with your kids as you gather around the dinner table. This habit will build the relationships and unity within your family.
