The Wedding Days of Motherhood with Emily Martyak

Motherhood isn’t always perfect, but I think this episode might be.

That’s the beauty in being honest - we can relate, find empathy, and realize that we’re not alone in this whole thing. My sweet friend Emily from @MadeforMotherhood_ joins me to talk about the hard times, and the importance of giving ourselves some room to not be “picture perfect.”

Emily has a counseling background, and I think you’ll really appreciate hearing from someone who has all the resources available and also struggles with mental health.

Episode highlights:

-The 80/20 rule: what is it? 

-Admitting our mistakes, and taking the time to talk about them with our kids and repair

-Things we wish all women knew before having kids 

-It’s not all the “Wedding Days of Motherhood”
