✨Happening now!! ✨ Our All The Feels FREE Virtual Summit with Libby Ward moderated by Working Momkind and sponsored by momupco! 💙 #atfsummit #motherhood #honestmotherhood #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek
"Household tasks often get grouped into motherhood tasks but household tasks are not motherhood tasks." THANK YOU Libby Ward 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #motherhoodtruths #mentalload #defaultparent #MaternalMentalHealthWeek Working Momkind
"When bringing up #mentalload to your partner, I try to do it from a place of how I am feeling overwhelmed & by sharing the things I need to be the best version of myself. Don’t bring it up of what you do vs what I do." Libby Ward Working Momkind #mentalhealth
"Make a list of all of the tasks, not to compare what you are each doing but to then figure out what is the iceberg of the mental load for each of those tasks." Libby Ward highly recommends Eve Rodsky's book Fair Play. #mentalload #defaultparent #MaternalMentalHealthWeek
Q: "Do you have any tips for those who might be struggling with letting go of control of tasks so their partner can help out more?" Working Momkind A: "All them to fail. Allow them to try things. Allow them to learn as they go. It can be daunting for them." Libby Ward
Q: "How do you deal with extended family members who don't agree with your parenting decisions?" Working Momkind A: "Surround yourself with likeminded people who you can go to when others don't get it. Having people you can talk to makes such a difference." Libby Ward
Working Momkind asking about overwhelm in motherhood & social media. Libby Ward reminded us to "Take information from social media, take it with a grain of salt. It’s coming from their experience and it’s okay if that advice doesn’t land for you." 🙏
"Sometimes we tend to over-explain our boundaries but we don't have to do that. Whether it's with family, friendships or employers, I encourage you to try to set a boundary without explaining it." Libby Ward Working Momkind #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
YES 👏 Working Momkind great point! "As parents, we forget that the needs our children have are needs that we have too. We both get overtired. We also struggle to express ourselves. As they grow up, we grow too."
Really appreciate the honesty of Erika Friday | Ready Set Moms, Sofia Garcia, Fruits of Motherhood, Jessica Russell & Working Momkind all sharing how angry we can feel when overstimulated 💯 #MaternalMentalHealthWeek
Erika Friday | Ready Set Moms A: By breaking routine. Otherwise I feel like I’m just going to burst. In that moment, I think how can I change this? Breaking routine gives you that flexibility you need as a parent. It feels really good. Working Momkind
