I’m going to say the quiet thing out loud. Sometimes I get jealous of women who aren’t moms. Not because I don’t love being a mom, but because I miss the ease they seem to move through their day with. The extra time to get dressed slowly, to look put together, to not have every minute accounted for. Becoming a mother is the deepest joy of my life, and it has also come with real losses. If you’ve ever felt that ache too, this one’s for you.In this episode of Ask Me How I’m Really Doing: A Mom’s Podcast, I talk about the hidden losses in motherhood, from time and identity to self-care and emotional space. We explore what it means to grieve those changes while still loving our babies, and how to carve out small moments of time for ourselves.Timestamped Highlights⏱ (00:29) The dinner that left me feeling rushed, drained, and unseen👚 (02:45) Realizing I had no clothes that fit the woman I am now💄 (04:50) The spiral of getting ready while comparing myself to women without kids💔 (06:30) Naming jealousy as a longing for time and spaciousness🪞 (07:21) Why starting with the outside can help you feel more like yourself inside🕰 (10:14) The truth that this season will not last forever🌱 Dream Seed Journal PromptWhere in your life are you craving time that is truly yours?
