It\u2019s not ok.\n\nMothers need mentorship.\xa0Desperately.\xa0And we\u2019re not getting it - anywhere, really.\n\nBecause as a culture we leave moms to fend for themselves with ridiculously frugal resources to support their physical and mental health in the early years of motherhood, most moms are left feeling lonely and isolated as they care for their babies.\xa0Sometimes desperately so.\xa0And they have nowhere to turn.\n\nIn the absence of mentorship, moms feel like they are failing, like everyone else has it all figured out and they just need to \u201cbe strong\u201d or pull themselves up by their bootstraps.\xa0\n\nThere is no guidance, let alone connection, companionship or camaraderie for struggling moms.\xa0There is no clear path through hard days or hard seasons.\xa0There is no normalization of how incredibly hard motherhood is.\xa0\n\nThere are plenty of beautiful instagram accounts that suggest you should be camera ready at all times and be hustling to post all your baby\u2019s milestones and all your career wins, but no permission for you to be chronically overwhelmed and overstimulated, exhausted to the point of disorientation, disconnected to your former sense of self to the point of major anxiety and/or depression.\n\nENOUGH ALREADY.\n\nIn today\u2019s episode, I break down what moms are missing out on when they don\u2019t have mentorship, the harm we perpetuate as a society that doesn\u2019t prioritize mother\u2019s needs and 5 ways for you to find the connection and mentorship you\u2019re likely craving.\n\nLink mentioned:\nGet SMA updates and an invitation to Momentum Mamas: shamelessmom.com/newsletter\nLearn more about your ad choices.
