147. Mom-to-Mom Conversation with Katie Fenske (Host of the Burnt Pancakes Podcast)

About this episode

Camille Beckstrand and Katie Fenske discuss the pressures of motherhood and the normalcy of imperfect moments.

Have you ever had one of those days in motherhood where something small goes wrong and suddenly you’re questioning everything? Maybe it’s a burnt dinner, a potty training meltdown, or a moment where you think… I should probably have this figured out by now. I’ve had those moments more times than I can count, and they can make even the most loving mom feel like she’s falling short. In this episode of MOMS on the Rise, I sat down with Katie Fenske from the Burnt Pancakes podcast, and we had one of those real mom-to-mom conversations about the pressure so many of us carry. We talked about the messy parts of motherhood, the expectations we put on ourselves, and why those imperfect moments are often more normal than we realize.
