200 // Being Real: Navigating the Struggles AND the Joys of Parenthood Authentically

<p>This is our 200th episode!!! Thank you all for your amazing support!!! We are soooo grateful for the most amazing listeners in the entire world:).</p> <p>Sometimes, it feels like it's the cool kid thing to do to complain about parenthood all the time. On the other hand, it can be easy to portray our children as heavenly cherubs who do no wrong and parentland as being full of only bliss.&nbsp; It's a tricky balance to find between being honest about the fact that parenting isn’t unicorns and roses&nbsp; all the time, but also realizing that it is also a great&nbsp; honor and really meaningful work to engage in.</p> <p>In this episode, we talk about that balance and wrestle with how to be authentic to ourselves, recognizing and asking for help when it’s hard, and soaking in the moments of love and enjoyment when they come. We hope you leave it feeling like you aren’t alone in your struggles and in your joys. Parenting is full of both.</p> <p>RELATED EPISODES:</p> <p><u>Related Episodes:</u></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000450854528"><u>Finding Joy and Enthusiasm in Every Day</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000471366626https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000471366626"><u>The Martyr Effect.
