A mother on a mission

Real motherhood was launched in January 2022 by me, a mother who wanted to showcase what motherhood truly looks like without the rosy tint we usually see on social media or the negative, but well-meaning comments like “just you wait, you’ll never sleep again”. I want to show the full picture, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Taking that idea a step further, I want to improve the daily lives of mothers, fathers, or basically anyone bothering to read this blog by also addressing ways to improve one’s mental health.

Why should I listen to you?

I’m just another mom currently in the trenches of motherhood. I’ve heard somewhere that the best person to learn from is from someone who recently learned the material because they can talk to you on your level and can still remember living through that experience. I gave birth to a daughter in August of 2021 and want to share my experiences in case they may help even one other mom. I have a psychology degree and have 4 years of experience working in the substance abuse and community mental health fields.

I also have personal experience with mental illness. I have suffered on and off with anxiety and depression throughout most of my adult life. When I gave birth to my daughter, I also had my first and only manic episode just days after. I want to share what I have learned from my own treatment experiences.

At the end of the day, though, it’s your choice on whose opinion you value. And that’s what I’m presenting for the most part is opinions, not facts, unless I state a reference of someone else backing me up with science. I don’t claim to have all the answers and you must always remember to follow the advice of your doctor over what you read on the internet.
