It's also a journey that is fraught with judgment, criticism and pressure.Many women struggle with the idea of perfectionism - wanting to be the best mother possible for their children. They are constantly striving to find balance between work and family life, achieve an ideal weight, or maintain an impeccable home. This pressure to be perfect can lead to anxiety and depression in mothers.This segment will discuss five ways motherhood changes us as women and how we negotiate it as women in today's society.

“Black Moms Deserve A Soft Life”: Self-Care For Black Moms, Too!
Hey Mamas! In this episode, I discuss the concept of the "soft life" as a form of resistance against hustle culture. I explore how Black women, who have historically been forced into labor, are reclaiming their right to live softly and prioritize self-care. I highlight the importance of rejecting the traditional expectations placed on women of color and redefine femininity to include rest, preservation, and peace. Join me in understanding the relationship between white femininity and black femininity, and why living softly is not only acceptable but necessary for all women! Watch this video and learn more about embracing the soft life and dismantling societal expectations.
