The Mom Chronicles is podcast for women that want to listen to my journey raising two kids. Any mother knows that we juggle many roles on a daily basis (wife, friend, nurse, tutor, coach) and maintain our individuality. Each episode I will be sharing real life stories and advice on parenting!

Today I am getting serious about my weight. I wanted to share my history and talk about how my daughter called me out on a double standard. I’ve always been overweight and will always struggle with my weight. Here is my story and how I’m finding my way to a new way of living for myself. I’m talking about goal setting, controlling your environment, and how I make time to exercise. My journey has taught me a lot about myself and I hope that it will help you too.

At some point you've likely seen your child struggle with something and want to give up. As our kids get older they will be confronted with many obstacles that they will have to overcome without us. She was faced with her own self doubt and confidence issues. I discuss how I helped my daughter through a dancing crisis by letting go of my helicopter mom ways. It made us both grow; me as a mother, and her as a young girl.

If you have a never-ending mental list of things that need to be done or errands to run, this is the episode for you. The mental load that most women and mothers have on a daily basis can be exhausting and most men are unaware of it. I discuss how I became aware of the emotional labor in my own household and how I had to let go.

All pregnancies and babies are NOT created equally. It's normal to struggle as a mother and feel like you're barely surviving. You are not alone. I discuss how I survived a baby that would not stop crying. I became a better person, woman, wife, and mother because of it.

Most moms begin their second shift when they get home from work. Have you struggled with juggling your work and personal responsibilities? We are cleaning, cooking, and helping with homework. We do all of this for after we have been working. Women are working full time jobs and are expected to carry the weight of the household. Let's start the conversation on what is a woman's role in the 21st century and how we can do better.

Mom perfection does not exist! We are our worst critic and will always doubt the awesome job we do everyday. Let's stop the mom shame spiral and remember that we are ROCKING motherhood. We expect ourselves to be perfect and it's a lie. We aren't perfect! The worse part is that we expect this of ourselves! Other people expect less from us and we need to let go of this preconceived notion of perfection in motherhood.
