Who Are We Outside of Motherhood?

Black Love Podcast Network
About this episode

A change in Felicia's co-parenting arrangement has her discovering more about who she is without being a full-time mother. This, in turn, has her wondering if the rest of the Mama's Den crew knows exactly who they are outside of motherhood and how they came to those realizations. PLUS what does it look like to try and find balance inside of motherhood with partners, fathers, and even the children? What are those expectations of what it is to be a mom? How are we handling the thought and concept (and occasional real feeling of) mom guilt?
