Myth of Motherhood

Alissa Alter
Myth of Motherhood

A podcast by, for, and about moms and those who love them. This is a show devoted to calling out the idealism and perfection that our society places on mothers, while also discussing the often taboo topics that come with transitioning into motherhood. It’s time for us to stop beating around the bush or hiding our struggles so that we can be seen, heard, and way less alone. There’s no one right way to be a mother, there is only YOUR right way. Join me, Alissa Alter | women’s health expert & motherhood advocate to share our stories, let go of mythical expectations, and write our own rules. Also-- can we all agree that showering, going to the bathroom, and being by yourself are NOT luxuries, but basic needs for us to not only survive, but thrive? I think it’s time.

I was. And so was Courtney.  In this episode… What MLM life taught us about ourselves, our art, and parenting Control FEELS like it will solve things, but it often distracts us from the lessons and the  path through hard things How kids f*cked us up Searching for structure and control as an artist and parent The impact of high control mind groups How we, two very smart women, ended up in an MLM, high control group How motherhood and other stages of instability leave you so so vulnerable You aren’t learning if you’re not failing Courtney Romano is a filmmaker, writer, and podcast host. She wrote the creative manifesto “The First Ten Years: A Philosophical and Practical Guide to Creative Longevity” after a decade-long career as an actor in everything from Off Broadway to commercials. That book was optioned, which kicked off her screenwriting portfolio. In 2020, Courtney wrote and directed the short film “Screen Test” and launched the podcast “The Break Breakdown” which tracked the making of that film. In 2023, Courtney released the award-winning 7-episode series “Kinsley Vs.”, which to her great delight won Best Writing and Best Dark Comedy among others at the Baltimore Next Media Web Fest.
