• Episode 2: The Price of Motherhood

  After having my first baby, I was pissed. I mean, I was exhausted, overjoyed, overwhelmed but mostly, pissed. I felt like I'd been conned into motherhood.  Like no one actually told me what it was really like. Whether they forgot the pain or didn't want to scare me out of it, I felt like no warned me about what it's actually like...what really happens when you make that irreversible choice to have children. What does it actually mean to become a mother? What happens to women when they make that choice? Why is no one talking about the reality, the hard truths, that come with motherhood? Lauren (founder of Words of Women) talks with six women and a therapist to discuss the hardships, pains and reality of motherhood with women in different stages of their motherhood journey: new moms, moms of grown children, and women who have chosen not to have kids.An honest, open conversation with six women about what it’s really like to become a mother...or conversely, not to become one. For anyone who is on the fence, for anyone who is wondering, or for anyone with kids who just needs a little  compassion, basically, for any woman out there wondering: Am I a bad mom for not loving this or is this just part of it?
