I knew I had to share this episode as I heard more and more coaching clients tell me how much they appreciated hearing me say that I don't always enjoy my kids, that I was a mom martyr, that pregnancy was hard.  I keep hearing how much it matters to hear that they aren't alone in these struggles of motherhood. 

In this episode I am talking about:

* Feeling like you aren't 'normal'
* Welcoming the resistance you might feel to the idea that you aren't alone
* What I have seen in coaching groups of women and moms
* The struggles I have in my own home, maybe you have them too 
* Sibling rivalry
* Having compassion for ourselves allows us to have it for others
* Being honest about our struggles
* Allowing people in, and offering support to others
