Innate or social construct? I say both. We have an immediate need to give the perfect life to the perfect being we give birth to. Then we always have society in our ear telling us how to raise our kids too. I don’t think mom guilt is going away, but I do think we can lessen the severity of the amount of guilt we put on ourselves. Because this perception of the ‘best’ and ‘perfect’ is just that, a perception. Let’s try to stop holding ourselves accountable to keep up a life that doesn’t really exist, only to beat ourselves up for it.

Ashley shares her experience with miscarriages and shares some myths and facts on the subject as well. Back then and even now, healthcare providers aren't preparing women and mothers of what might occur or giving them the statistics to inform them. It's not only misleading, it creates room for severe emotional trauma for something that could've been lessened with more information and facts. Yes they are extremely common, but that sure doesn't lessen the blow when it hits, no matter how many times.   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/momisfrazled/message

Ashley jumps back into podcasting by kicking off an episode on anxiety and speaking on an anxiety attack she had the other day. "Facing yourself in that moment can be the scariest feeling in the world. You can have support and guidance, but no one can physically do the work for you, and it can be terrifying. The dynamic between trying to ground yourself, and not overthink about overthinking, just seems impossible, and it seems like it'll last forever."  So she talks about shifting your thoughts, reframing your mind, and putting in the work. It's messy, and it's scary, but you're the only one that can make it work. Tune in and share, especially to those that just might not understand. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/momisfrazled/message

I piggy back off the last episode of “Redefining your sense of self” to talk about confidence. It means something different to everyone, for everyone, and I’ll use this series to break it all down. In this episode it’s all about knowing that some ppl won’t be your ppl, and being ok with that and not feeling the need to fix and change it. Happy listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/momisfrazled/message
