About this episode

The episode features a conversation about the complexities of motherhood when raising twins, including challenges and the importance of support.

This week, Jocelyn and Lauren are joined by fellow mamilennial, Lourdes, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the beautifully complex journey of motherhood through the lens of raising twins (!!). Lourdes opens up about the shock of discovering she was expecting twins, the physical and emotional challenges of a twin pregnancy, and the layered experience of bonding with two babies—especially when one required time in the NICU. Together, they unpack the grief, guilt, and growth that can coexist in early motherhood, and the pressure many moms feel to “do it all” while still learning how to slow down and be present. The conversation weaves through the unpredictable nature of motherhood, the importance of asking for (and accepting) help, and the realities of balancing personal identity, career transitions, and family life. Jocelyn, Lauren, and Lourdes share candid stories about leaning on community, prioritizing self-care, and redefining success in this season of life. At its core, this episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t meant to be navigated alone and that resilience, presence, and support can look different for every family, especially when raising multiples.
