The journey into motherhood isn\u2019t easy for any woman. But after giving birth here in the U.S., there is societal pressure to return to a \u201cnormal life\u201d almost overnight. In other cultures, this transition comes more gently. Women are given more time, more support, and more grace.\n\n\n\n\nIn today\u2019s episode I am chatting with my friend Lora Amigo. Lora is a Mexican woman raising her children in Chicago\u2013far away from her support network. She shares her story of learning how to mother here in America and the pressure she felt in the process. We are talking about postpartum depression, helicopter parenting, and finding joy in returning to work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThe post SFP 147: Mothering Without A Village [with Lora Amigo] appeared first on Simple Families.
