Motherhood can be a rollercoaster – moments of joy intertwined with instances of self-doubt, guilt, and pressure. We've all been there, right? Grab your tea and cozy up - let's talk about it. In this heart-to-heart episode of All Our Little Messes, we're challenging the cookie-cutter image of 'perfect mom' and embracing the beautiful mess that motherhood can sometimes be.

Ever felt like you're wearing too many hats? As a mom, a wife, an employee - the expectations can often feel overwhelming. Let's not forget our own wellbeing amidst this juggling act. We delve into the struggles of breastfeeding, particularly my personal journey with nursing a baby born with severe oral ties. The guilt, the judgment, the pressure - we lay it all bare. But remember this - it's okay to prioritize yourself. It's okay to choose mental health over societal norms. 

In our candid chat, we also tear down the myths around motherhood - breastfeeding vs. formula feeding, sleep training, and the dreaded parenting decisions. There's no rulebook to this, no 'right' way of being a mom. The only right way is your way. So tune in as we shatter the notion of 'supermom' and embrace the real, messy, wonderful journey of motherhood. Because perfection is overrated, isn't it?
