If every day the best feedback you got was food thrown at you- and I don't like this dinner, this is the worst dinner ever...it's the fact that a lot of moms don't come into motherhood with a core value of themselves.
Motherhood can feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders while simultaneously questioning your worth. In this episode of 'Out of the Dark', hosts Mandisa and Laura Williams tackle these complex emotions head-on. They dive into the often unspoken struggles that mothers face, from 'mom-shame' to the crucial need for self-care.
Mandisa, who is also a licensed professional counselor, offers practical advice and heartfelt insights that resonate deeply with anyone navigating the ups and downs of motherhood. One of the key messages in this episode is the importance of self-care. Taking time for oneself isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity. The hosts discuss how even small acts of self-care can make a significant difference in a mother's mental health.
They also emphasize the value of apologizing and forgiving within the parenting dynamic, showing how children can learn from their parents' actions and mistakes. Another focal point is the impact of social media on mothers' self-esteem. In a world where comparison is just a scroll away, finding value in one's own journey becomes even more critical. This episode is a supportive resource for any mother feeling overwhelmed, providing not just empathy but actionable steps to improve mental well-being.
Whether you're struggling with feelings of inadequacy or looking for ways to better care for yourself, this episode offers a blend of comfort and practical advice that makes it a must-listen.
