The Cheeky Been18. How To Keep Going When You Feel Like Giving UpIf you've ever gone through a season of burnout, you're not alone. We as women tend to take on a lot on our plates. We have demanding careers, we want to be good moms to our babies, and we want to be a good wife to our spouse; in addition to being good homemakers, having a clean house, and a fresh dinner on the table every night. The pressure of getting it all done in a 24-hour day seems to always be there. Trying to do it all, and trying to do it well, is just realistically not possible. 2022-08-0318 minThe Cheeky Been17. The Highs and Lows of Motherhood with Katy Harrell of Mumu and MacaroonsIn this episode, I have a real and open conversation about what motherhood has looked like not only for me but for my friend Katy Harrell, who runs the Mumu and Macaroons Instagram account. She talks candidly about mental health, her postpartum body, and the real struggles a lot of us face but don't always feel comfortable talking about. I talk to Katy about young motherhood, how she built her platform, and why it is so important to destigmatize mental health and postpartum recovery. I hope you enjoy this conversation around the highs and lows of motherhood!
