    12 Motherhood Myths Debunked | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 8

    12 Motherhood Myths Debunked | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 8

    Do you ever find yourself just expecting to be exhausted all the time as a mom?



    Have you just assumed that it’s not possible to both be available to your child and also pursue the work that you love?



    Do you believe that it’s your job to prevent your child from feeling pain?



    Today, we are going to debunk some of the most widely held myths in motherhood- beliefs that ultimately lead to huge amounts of anxiety, depression, and burn out for the women who hold them.



    Here are the 12 myths to debunk:

    1. Good moms love being with their kids all the time

    2. If I wanted a baby and my child is healthy, I should just be grateful

    3. Motherhood is just hard and it’s normal to feel burned out. 

    4. If I just put my head down and plow through, it will get easier

    5. I am a competent and smart woman, I shouldn’t need help

    6. If my child is distressed or struggling, it’s my fault

    7. I can’t let me child see my struggles

    8. It all goes so quickly, I should enjoy every moment

    9. I can’t do it all

    10. Mothering requires sacrifice of self

    11. Maternal and child Mental health means I’m happy all the time and so is my child

    12. In order to have a secure attachment with my child, I need to be available when my child wants and needs me.



    After you listen to this episode, please come on over to our IG feed @motherhooduncutpodcast and let us know whether or not these resonate and what other myths of motherhood you are aware of. We’d love to hear from you!

    Emese Parker on the Journey Into Motherhood | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 6

    Emese Parker on the Journey Into Motherhood | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 6

    Today I talk with Emese Parker, RN, WHNP-BC, MPH, PMH-C,  about the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother, otherwise known as Matrescence (don’t worry, I struggle with the word, too!).

    Board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner (NP), certified perinatal mental health specialist, menopause practitioner, and also a mother, Emese leads us into the wild, wonderful, and so often emotionally chaotic ride into this role as “mother.”

    This incredible conversation is for you if you are pregnant, newly postpartum, or already along the journey through motherhood.



    About Emese:

    Emese Parker is a pregnancy & motherhood support specialist, award-winning author, public health geek, mama, and matrescence activist. With over twenty years of health care experience, Parker has been specializing in women’s health since 2008. She is passionate about supporting and empowering women, promoting perinatal mental wellness and walking with women through various life transitions—especially pregnancy and motherhood.

    After completing bachelor of science degrees in exercise science and nursing, Parker earned her master of science in nursing from Boston College, and master of public health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

    She works in OB/GYN as a board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner (NP), certified perinatal mental health specialist and menopause practitioner, and recently launched virtual pregnancy and motherhood-focused life coaching services (tocarrywonder.com). 

    Her new book is called To Carry Wonder. It's a curated blend of story and art with evidence-based insight, aiming to nurture, inspire and equip women across the four trimesters. By sharing openly about the raw, surprising, funny and even awkward moments of pregnancy and motherhood, mamas can take off their motherhood masks, better understand what they’re going through, and gain resources to authentically grow into who they really are.

    The Difference between Self-Centeredness and Self-Care in Motherhood | Motherhood Uncut Podcast Season 5 Episode 5

    The Difference between Self-Centeredness and Self-Care in Motherhood | Motherhood Uncut Podcast Season 5 Episode 5

    Today, I walked straight into my recording studio from a morning walk. Not a lot of planning ahead of time for this episode… just a sense that I had to share exactly what was on my mind.



    Today’s episode digs into the important concept of self-care in motherhood.  A term that is over-used and widely abused by commercialism. This episode also digs into the concept of “self-sacrifice” in motherhood- a term that I believe is misleading and dangerous.

    If you find that taking care of yourself feels difficult or selfish or that you don’t have time, or if you struggle with loving yourself fully, this podcast is a must-listen for you.



    Today, I refer to Cathy Heller’s podcast episode with Rabbi David Aaron.  Please give it a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2FhOQ26POLuR5bQMosodRk?si=93ef6f2a2c114c2d

    Mothering a Child with Disabilities with Kelley Coleman | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 4

    Today on the podcast, I talk with Kelley Coleman,  feature film development executive turned author and advocate for parent caregivers and individuals with disabilities. Her book Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports draws upon over a decade of experience, including her own experience parenting a child with multiple disabilities.

Kelley addresses the challenges and joys of her life with grace, grip, humor, and infinite love. Whether you are mothering a child with disabilities or not, I have no doubt that you will love Kelley as much as I did.

My favorite podcast!

Kate’s and Deb’s expertise and wisdom has greatly enriched my life as a mother by deepening my relationship with my self and my relationship with my child. I listen and re-listen to all of the Motherhood Uncut episodes. I can’t emphasize enough how truly fun and joyful this podcast is! If your looking for a genuine podcast on mothering that cuts through the noise, this is it.

I can’t wait for the next episode!

I love this podcast and can’t get enough of Kate and Deb. Every episode I feel connected to these mothers. Even guests that I think I won’t connect with surprise me and I get so much out of listening to their stories. This podcast always has me laughing and learning. We have so much to learn from each other and share as mothers!
