  • Ep.122 MOM CHAT: The Dark Side of Being a Stay at Home Parent w/ Courtney & Jennifer
    Nov 6 2024

    Our MOM CHAT episodes are something special! Ever wonder what it’d be like if moms recorded the conversations they have when they get together? There’s just something so real about talking through things over coffee, a glass of wine, or while out on a walk. We wanted to bottle up that vibe and share it with you. So, we invited two of our amazing HER Circle friends, Courtney and Jennifer, to have an open, casual chat about a topic that matters.

    In this episode, we discuss the topic of the Dark Side of Being a Stay at Home Parent. Together we untangle the challenges of being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM). We explore the emotional and financial dependencies on partners, the loss of identity, and the societal perception of SAHMs. Jennifer and Courtney share their experiences, highlighting the financial impracticality of daycare and the lack of tangible income for SAHMs. They discuss the emotional burden of managing household tasks and the guilt of not contributing financially. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value of SAHMs' work and the need for better societal understanding and support.
