Modern Motherhood: Toxic Positivity or Chronic Complaining?

We Are More Than Moms··14 May 2026·23 min

About this episode

We all have both: the mom friend who never complains and swears everything is “amazing”… and the one who tells you exactly how it really is. We talk about finding the middle: being honest and vulnerable without losing perspective. You can love your kids and struggle at the same time. You can be deeply grateful to be pregnant and still have a hard experience, both can be true. We also break down venting (which connects and releases) vs. staying stuck (which loops and drains), and how to tell when you need support versus a gentle call-out. This episode is for you if you’re craving a space to be real about motherhood—where you don’t have to pretend everything is perfect, but also don’t want to stay stuck in the hard.
