    08 the mental load of motherhood, asking for help, travel potty hack

    08 the mental load of motherhood, asking for help, travel potty hack

    The mental load of motherhood is a heavy one. Moms are often told to ask for help, but I believe that is only part of the equation. In this episode I discuss 2 nuances to asking for help. Then we get into the not so deep stuff and I share a travel potty hack, how I am loving the Pony Pick for taking hair ties our of my daughter's hair gently, and the Contigo recall and what alternative kids water bottle I am loving.
