Is motherhood supposed to come naturally? Or have we been sold a myth that leaves moms feeling broken and inadequate when reality doesn’t match the script? In this deeply validating episode of The Worthy Mother Podcast, Emily sits down with therapist, writer, and mom Vanessa Spinarsky to unpack the cultural myth of the “natural mother.” Together, they explore:Why so many women feel like they’ve “signed an invisible contract” in motherhoodHow societal expectations and “corporate motherhood” keep moms stuck in survival modeThe concept of self-forsaking and how it erodes identity over timeWhy joy, neutrality, and authentic self-return are acts of resistancePractical ways moms can reconnect with themselves through markers like movement, music, and emotional honestyThis conversation will leave you feeling less alone, more empowered, and ready to question the unrealistic standards surrounding modern motherhood.🔗 Connect with Vanessa Spinarsky:Instagram: @vanessaspinarskyWebsite: themamahealinghubinc.squarespace.com✨ Let’s keep the convo going:Follow Emily on Instagram → @honestlyemilyroseFollow the podcast on TikTok → @worthymotherpodcastSubscribe + Review:If this episode encouraged you, share it with a fellow mom and leave a 5-star review — it helps more mamas find this message.Send us a text
