Motherhood can feel so lonely at times. Not in the sense that we have no friends, or no one to talk with, but in the sense that we often believe no one is experiencing motherhood the way we are. Host Lindsay Aerts discusses some of the reasons she thinks motherhood feels so isolating, and what to do about it. She talks about how many of us fear the judgement of other people when it comes to how we parent so we retreat, so as to not face that judgement. It comes from society, from other mothers, from the internet, from our own unrealistic idealized expectations of what it means to be a good mom. She talks about how we don't live communally anymore, and that can make it hard to find connection. She talks about how to define what it means to be a good mom and why that's so important.
