41: The Twins Are ONE! Reflections On 1 Year of Motherhood 🎂

About this episode

Carly reflects on her first year of twin motherhood, sharing insights and lessons learned along the way.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my first year of twin motherhood - what surprised me, what stretched me, and how my perspectives have changed along the way. I thought having twins would be about logistics and efficiency. Instead, it’s been a year of surrender, humility, and learning my limits in a way I never have before. I’m sharing honest, nuanced thoughts on some of the most talked-about (and sometimes controversial) topics in motherhood - from birth and sleep to feeding, vaccines, and child spacing - along with the deeper lessons underneath all of it.
