And yet so many moms refuse to let themselves be supported in the way that actually matters.After 6+ years of coaching (coupled with my own dark past), I’ve seen what happens when moms wish things were easier but never take meaningful action to get help to make them better. In this episode, I offer solidarity with all the hardworking moms who have built their identity around being the strong, responsible one that fulfills everyone else’s needs. I then share the hard-to-hear truth that trying to DIY only increases your frustration—to the great detriment of your marriage and motherhood.
