078 - The Spectrum of Motherhood
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Motherhood is beautiful… and complicated… and sometimes a little unhinged.In this Mother’s Day episode, we hold space for the full spectrum of what it means to be a mom right now. We have an honest conversation about the realities of Black maternal health—and reflect on three recent cases in the news involving Black mothers that ended in tragedy. These stories are heavy, but necessary, and we approach them with care, empathy, and a desire to keep these conversations from being ignored.From there, we get personal—sharing our own motherhood experiences, how we’ve changed, and the versions of ourselves we’ve had to grieve along the way.And because this is Doing It All, we balance it with the moments that keep us laughing:our take on “freak numbers” (let’s just say… Sarah went from a 6 to maybe a 4, while Maya is a tentative 7 )Maya sharing a very honest “did I really just say that to my child?” moment that had us both in tearsthe phrases we say at least 100 times a day to our toddlersand our current favorite “horror movies”… aka what we’ve discovered in the depths of our kids’ car seats (truly terrifying)We also leave you with a simple challenge this week: do something for yourself that you normally do for everyone else. The same care, effort, and intention—you deserve that too. And if you do, post it and tag us—we want to see it We also read a listener letter that hit home for all of us—on grieving who you were before motherhood, and what it looks like to slowly find yourself again.Whether you’re holding a lot right now, missing your old self, or just trying to make it to bedtime—this episode is for you.
