Adjusting to Motherhood: Anne's Story, Part II

You love your kids, and it might be the case that you also, LOVED your life before kids. The sometimes conflicting emotions that women encounter as they find a new identity in motherhood and figure out how to integrate it with aspects of their life before kids is today's topic.

In today's episode we hear the second half of my conversation with Anne. She shares the strategies she uses to manage her limited time for creative work when babies or young children have such high demands.  We also have the insights of a fantastic therapist  (Jessica Sourci) who talks us through ways to think about managing the disappointment around some of these hard tradeoffs, as well as how to tend to yourself while also tending to young children.
