This episode is all about the three things that ACTUALLY prepared me for motherhood. And they’re not parenting books. They’re not baby books. They’re not books at all. They're not birthing or breastfeeding or CPR classes. These three things do not include the “motherly intuition” that is apparently spontaneously downloaded into our brains as our babies exit our bodies. There was no spontaneous download of some sort of comprehensive, exhaustive manual that made me know how to feel that he’s warm, or tell that he’s hungry not tired, or understand that hekipokter means helicopter.
No, today I’m sharing with you the three things that ACTUALLY prepared me for the reality of motherhood, not the myth we are sold. Make sure to check out the shownotes here and check out how these lessons show up in my life now over on IG @alissaalter
