Ep. 5 : Is Parenthood a Scam?... or a Cult?

In this episode I reflect on the idea of parenthood being a scam....or even a cult. Have you ever wondered if it was?

Ep. 4 : "You'll Want MORE......" Why that ISN'T comforting

In this episode, the speaker challenges the common assumption that mothers will inevitably want more than one child. Pushing back against the dismissive phrase "You'll want another one," she highlights the exhaustion, mental load, and personal sacrifices that come with motherhood. Rather than viewing the choice to have only one child as rooted in fear or uncertainty, she frames it as a deliberate, informed decision deserving respect. The episode offers an honest, unfiltered look at "one and done" motherhood, validating that there is no universal path every mother must follow.

Grieving the Life Before Parenthood

Nobody talks enough about how motherhood can come with grief — not grief for your child, but grief for the version of yourself that existed before them. In this episode, I’m talking about life before parenthood… the freedom, the identity, the ease you didn’t realize you’d miss. If you’ve ever felt that ache, you’re not alone.

Regret, Love and Parenting's Weight

Let's talk about one of the things parents don't admit out loud........REGRET. Not regret about who our children are… but regret about how overwhelming parenting can be. Regret about how much it demands. Regret about the world they were born into… and the weight we carry trying to protect them. In this episode, I’m sharing my own truth — the layered, complicated mix of love, fear, grief, and responsibility that so many of us hold quietly.

Episode 1: The Moment I KNEW I was a One & DONE Mom

There wasn’t a big announcement. No dramatic breaking point. Just a quiet, undeniable moment where everything clicked—and I knew… this was it. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact moment I realized I was a one-and-done mom. Not from a place of lack, but from clarity. From truth. From finally listening to myself instead of the noise—society, expectations, the “you’ll change your mind” chorus. We’re talking about the emotional build-up, the pressure to want more, the guilt that tries to creep in, and the freedom that comes with choosing your version of motherhood unapologetically. If you’ve ever questioned how many kids you should have… or felt like your answer doesn’t fit the norm—this one’s for you.
