Episode 28: In Another Life- Full Toddler Mode & Still Searching for Balance” (ft. Rose Rodriguez, LCSW, PMH-C)

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of motherhood during the toddler stage and features an interview with Rose Rodriguez on finding balance and making time for oneself.

We know… it’s been a minute 😅 (okay, a month.. toddlers will do that to you). We’re officially in full toddler mode over here: big feelings, zero chill, and somehow… even less time for ourselves. Like truly, no time for ourselves, let alone our passion project 🫠 In this catch-up, we’re talking about what this stage really looks like. balancing work, motherhood, identity, and everything in between (while one of us casually goes on a world tour??). Then we get into the good stuff with Rose Rodriguez, LCSW, PMH-C, diving into the mental load of motherhood, why “balance” feels so elusive, and how to actually start making space for yourself again in this wild season. If you’ve ever thought “how am I supposed to do all of this?” this one’s for you.
