    JOMO > FOMO

    JOMO > FOMO

    Comparison is innately part of us as and let’s be honest, this construct feels intensified during motherhood. From body image to baby milestones, preschool admissions and so much more, the comparison and fear of ‘falling behind’ is real. How do we ground ourselves? How do we tune inwards and learn to make decisions based on our own intuition? We explore how our ego meddles with our parenting decision and why it’s important to pause, take inventory and sometimes give ourselves a reality check.

    We need help, not a new friend

    All things nannies! The caregiver-parent dynamic and relationship can definitely be a complicated one. It’s an emotionally charged, intimate working relationship, which can arguably be one of the most important relationships working parents have. D&A chat hiring and switching nannies, the boss/employee dynamic, the day-to-day working relationship and what they’ve learned along the way.

    In today’s episode, D&A chat all things boundaries and our experience with this construct starting in pregnancy and into motherhood. From visitors and family, to work and friendships, boundaries have become integral to keeping our sanity. As moms, time is our biggest commodity, and without boundaries, we’ve found ourselves feeling anxious and spread too thin, especially as recovering people pleasers. We don’t have all the answers, but we do shed light on how boundaries play a role in our lives, as well as discuss some of our personal favorites.

    Stop trying to fit into your old jeans

    Body image will always be one of our most requested topics. Dale and Annabel speak about their relationship with body image during pregnancy and postpartum: their journeys, their triggers, their struggles with resistance and their path to acceptance and gratitude. They discuss the toxicity of comparing themselves to their prior (non-mom) self, the mind fuck of ‘bounce back culture’ and trying to fit into your old jeans, as well as the strategies that helped them come out of this journey with a stronger relationship with their bodies.
