In this episode I sit down with my amazing gal pal, Sierra, as we discuss a rather taboo and shunned topic that is the reality of so many fantastic mothers. The first time Sierra and I hung out she so casually yet vulnerably shared that she did not enjoy motherhood. In the days and weeks following that interaction my curiosity grew. I truly had so many questions and wanted to know what her experience with motherhood, as a woman who absolutely undeniably loves and adores her children but does not care for the experience and role as mother, has looked like. Sierra so vulnerably, graciously and bravely shared so much with us in this 82 minute discussion.

At 11:22 Sierra opens up about how difficult motherhood has been for her.

Sierras shares which parts of motherhood specifically she does not enjoy at 25:35.

At 30:27 I share a very vulnerable time of when I temporarily lost my appetite to be a mother to my daughter.

At 40:52 we explore how age can play a big part in how happy and fulfilled (or unhappy and unfulfilled) a woman may feel about her life when adding children into the mix.

We talk about the imbalance in parental duties and how that may definitely contribute to the resentment and frustration a woman may feel about her role of being a mother at 55:56.

Our conversation relating to the topic at hand ends at approximately 1 hour and 1 min (1:01:22).

If you are choosing to stick along with us at this point, God bless you! It turns into a hilarious conversation about being vocal for the sake of not developing an auto immune disease, crashing out when necessary, and ultimately learning the importance of prioritizing friendships.

Boy oh boy, do we hope you guys have enjoyed this episode!
