Ep 187Honest Motherhood: Capacity, Rage, and Radical Self-Honesty with Libby Ward
EP:187 Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also brutal — and you are not broken for finding it hard. In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I sit down with my dear friend Libby Ward, author of Honest Motherhood: On Losing My Mind and Finding Myself. From the very first page, I saw myself in her words, and I know you will too. We talk openly about: What it really feels like to be overstimulated, resentful, and on the edge of rage as a mom Why motherhood isn’t a time management issue, it’s a capacity issue The moment Libby saw fear in her children’s eyes and realized something had to change How chasing the undefined standard of a “good mom” keeps us burned out, dysregulated, and ashamed Why radical honesty about your actual life (your nervous system, support, money, partner, health) is the first step to feeling human again Letting go of being selfless and instead finally having a self Practical ways to lower your standards, say no, reclaim time, and build capacity so you can show up as the parent you want to be If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this so hard for me when everyone else seems fine?” or “I’m barely holding it together,” this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away feeling seen, less alone, and with permission to stop hustling for some impossible version of “good mom” and start honoring your real, lived experience. 📖 Libby’s book, Honest Motherhood, is out April 14 and available in print, audio, and ebook wherever you buy books.
