57: I've Been a Mom for a Decade - Here's What I've Learned Burnt Pancakes: Momversations | Conversations for Imperfect Moms, Chats About Mom Life & Interviews with Real Mamas

My oldest son. Ronin, just turned 10 and I can't believe I've been a mom for an entire decade!

Join me on a  journey through my first decade of motherhood in this solo episode.

Listen in as I open up about the ten lessons that have shaped my experience as a mom, beginning with the need for a supportive tribe. I share how stepping out of my comfort zone and into moms' groups transformed my early days of parenting, bringing connection and community when I needed it most. 

From choosing the names of my sons, Ronin and Jett, to the intricate dance of default parenting and trusting my instincts, I explore the challenges and triumphs that have defined my role as a mother.

Reflect on the joys of raising all very different boys. Embrace the laughter as I confess the wishful thinking behind selecting easier children's names, and the realities of nurturing strong-willed spirits. 

I celebrate the milestones that brought sleep and freedom back into our family's life, and I honor the diverse personalities and sibling dynamics that each child brings to the table.

 Whether you're navigating the highs and lows of motherhood or just looking for a dose of solidarity and humor, this episode promises a blend of personal anecdotes and universal wisdom to inspire and connect with moms everywhere.
