In this episode, Alex and I dive into the surprises of motherhood—starting with how your body changes after birth (dry hair, anyone?) and the unexpected realities of labor recovery, where the Peri bottle, wipes, and ice pads become your best friends. We shared our experiences of starting motherhood at the same time, how strange things can feel as you adjust to your new body.
Together, we reflect on how tough the newborn phase was, but also how rewarding it is now that our children's personalities are shining through. We touch on the patience and flexibility little ones require, the challenge of finding purpose beyond motherhood, and how mom guilt plays a role in that.
Ultimately, we agree that having support from other mom friends around us makes the ups and downs of this journey a little easier to bear.
Please enjoy. And remember you're doing amazing. <3
