If you've struggled with keeping up with your friendships after becoming a mother, this episode is for you!
While it's easy to complain about the disappearing act of some of our friends, it's humbling to realize that we may have not been reaching out either. It certainly takes two to tango and sometimes we have to take the lead to maintain the relationships that are of upmost importance to us.
We know that for some of our friends, figuring out what you need or how to be there for you, is easier said than done.
There may also come a time, when our new life creates a dynamic that does shift the energy within a friendship and we realize that we've outgrown each other. That's ok too.There is no right or wrong. At this stage of our lives as grown ass people, we've earned the right to do what's right for us!
So Mama, if you're seeking to nurture, maintain, repair or create friendships, this is for you!

Who am I now? It's a question many moms have asked themselves. The intersection of who you were before pregnancy and who you are post delivery, can be a difficult adjustment during the 4th trimester and beyond.
In this conversation, special guest Diana Hillaire , Founder of @whenshecomeshome and I discuss our experiences of rediscovering ourselves after becoming mothers.
We reflect on our respective journeys to reclaiming our identities and finding balance between motherhood and personal fulfillment.

“Adoption was never a last resort for me. I always wanted one biological child and one adopted child.”
In this episode, host Victoria Lauture-Duncker interviews Daisha Enos, a 44-year-old wellness and health coach, about her journey to motherhood at 40. She discusses the comments and questions she received from family members and friends about her decision to have children later in life. While she always believed that she’d be a mother, of two - one biological child and one adopted child, she never dreamed of getting married.
After meeting her now husband Aron, she knew she had found the icing on the cake! Daisha and Aron, mutually agreed to spend the first few years of married life together and wait to start their family. She credits him for being supportive early of her wishes for their family dynamic.
The story behind their adoption process is a MUST LISTEN. It is truly a testament in that when something is meant for you, it is meant for YOU!
My biggest takeaway from my chat with Daisha?
Being specific about what you want and going after it can lead to incredible outcomes. Also, that it’s important to have a positive mindset and be open to learning from setbacks and challenges. Incredible!

Takeaways
The pressure and expectations of having children in your 20s can influence relationship decisions and create feelings of disappointment.
Personal challenges and experiences shape our expectations of marriage and family life.
Infertility and fertility treatments can be emotionally challenging, but they can also lead to the joy of having a baby.
Age should not define our ability to be good parents or experience the joys of motherhood. Motherhood is challenging and requires support and self-care.
Breastfeeding struggles are common, and it's important to seek help and not feel guilty.
Postpartum depression is a real and valid experience that should be recognized and addressed.
Balancing motherhood and personal identity is a journey that requires self-reflection and self-compassion.
Social media can create unrealistic expectations and it's important to prioritize mental health over comparison.

Mary Beth, a flight attendant in her 40s, reflects on her first year of motherhood to her now 2 year old child and how she and her partner (also a flight attendant) have maintained the parts of their lives most important to them pre-baby, while creating a beautiful life as a family.
Victoria Lartey-Williams, Owner of Victorious Events NYC , offers us her perspective of being the child of an older mother. She'll share of her childhood, what their relationship is like today and the impact of her mother's life experiences on her life as well as her own journey to motherhood in her 40s.
It's a love letter not only to her beautiful mother (who FYI, is in her 80s-GO ON MAMA LINDA!), but to all of us older mamas. We can only hope our own children will express half of the gratitude and appreciation she shares in this chat!
