Sometimes you have to go through the darkness to reach the light... I live with that dichotomy as a mom.
Picture this: you dream about childbirth and having a family, but once you become a parent, you realize you're just not that into kids. In this eye-opening episode of 'Secret Life', host Brianne Davis chats with Mandy, a mom who grapples with this very reality. Mandy opens up about the paradox of loving her child while struggling with the daily grind of motherhood.

Mandy delves into the societal expectations of motherhood and the guilt that comes with not fitting the 'perfect mom' mold. She discusses how she manages her relationships with kids, often feeling more like a manager than a parent.
Mandy also touches on the joy she finds in her pets, which have filled some of the emotional gaps left by her complex feelings about children. Throughout the conversation, Mandy emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and doing the inner work to navigate tough times. She talks about how sharing her story has been a lifeline, offering a raw and honest perspective that many might find relatable but rarely spoken about.
