About this episode

The episode discusses the myths and realities of motherhood, exploring common misconceptions and the truths discovered after becoming a mom.

Before becoming moms, we all had ideas about what motherhood would look like. We thought we'd never hand over the iPad at a restaurant. We thought our kids would eat whatever we cooked. We thought we'd have a routine, a clean house and somehow still find time for ourselves. Then motherhood happened. This week on Motherish, we're unpacking the motherhood myths we believed before having kids and the truths we've discovered along the way. From screen time and sleep schedules to identity, friendship and mom guilt, we're separating expectation from reality and laughing at just how wrong we were about some things.
