Failing Motherhood
The Beauty of Rock Bottom with Laurenne
Show Notes

My beautiful friend, Laurenne, joins us today to share about her lowest low in motherhood.  Just when she thought she couldn't go on, a trip to Trader Joes and a new tea set breathes life and the thought starts to actually sink in that she might just be the right mom for her daughters.

I'm so grateful for Laurenne's vulnerability and wisdom, it is exactly the heart of what this podcast hopes to capture.  You are not doing it wrong if it's hard, you are not alone, and you're not the only one thinking you're the only one!

Laurenne mentions her gratitude for finding a friend group in which she could be honest and real, and encourages you to find the same.  If you haven't yet, find a MOMS Club, MOPS group, or something similar in your area.  If none of those are offered, it looks like you're going first and starting something!  You can do hard things, friend. A FB group, a monthly book club... it's worth it.  Early motherhood just cannot and should not be weathered alone. 

If you or a loved one ever feels like Laurenne did, help is standing by!
