You Can Love Your Kids and Still Struggle with Motherhood, with Libby Ward

You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I’m joined by Libby Ward—creator, author, and the voice behind Honest Motherhood—and this conversation is the kind that makes you feel a little less alone in your own brain.
We’re talking about the mental load of motherhood, the pressure to be productive, and how hard it can be to rest even when your body is asking for it. Libby shares openly about self-doubt, overwhelm, and what it’s looked like to move from doing what she should do to actually listening to what she needs.
We get into nervous system support, repair over perfection, and what it means to raise kids differently than we were raised—while still being human in the process.
Alright folks, let’s dive in.
