This episode dives into the “Just wait” comments that can easily scare moms and expecting mothers.

Mom shame

Milestones & Comparison

We Are More Than Moms ·

2024/06/27

There are so many “milestones” for our children that are tracked since the day they’re born. Not just from our doctors, but it seems to be the first question most people ask when asking about your child. In this episode, we dive into the emotional component and get real about the shame, guilt and judgement that can arise if our children don’t hit milestones “on time.” We may wonder if our children are behind or blame ourselves for not “doing enough.” D shares openly about her son’s walking status

Are we romantic partners or business partners?

We Are More Than Moms ·

2024/06/13

One of our most requested topics - relationships. With the new responsibility of a child, our relationship dynamic changes - duh, we just don’t think we realized how extreme the change would be. We speak candidly about falling into defined roles, co-existing / co-parenting vs spending quality time together, the importance of clear communication, intentionality with our time, and how we keep our romantic relationship from turning into a business relationship - a work in progress for us.Is ‘balance”

Let’s chat: identity. Yes we are first and foremost moms, but we’re also so much more than that.

In this episode, D&A chat about their previous identities, and how they’ve shifted, how motherhood has forced them to take inventory of their ‘roles’ and make adjustments to ensure alignment.
