Motherhood Uncut Kate Kripke

Do you look at all of the stuff around your house and feel overwhelmed? Are you tripping over toys, losing track of important papers, or constantly feeling like you can’t keep up with organization?



Is cleaning up your go-to when you feel anxious? Or, maybe, no matter how much you organize and clean, you still feel unsettled inside?



Today, I dive deep into internal and external clutter with mom and de-clutter coach, Courtney Florey. Together we unravel the interplay between internal and external chaos and what to do about it.



Courtney Florey is a wife, mom, owner of Declutter & Dwell and the Founder of The Simplicity Society. She is passionate about helping modern women find a sustainable rhythm of decluttering that fits into their busy lifestyles. Her goal is to help moms create a home that is cozy, lived-in, and easier to manage and her heart is to walk alongside them on this journey, because it’s more fun when done together.

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.

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.

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

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 lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two boys, and her son’s trusty service dog. 



In our conversation today, nothing goes unturned when it comes to mothering through the stress and joy of having 2 boys- one with multiple rare 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.
