We are told by so many that motherhood will be the best experience of your life - you will be joyful, excited, and even elevated. You are even expected to be happy at all times. But is this the real experience of motherhood? Or does the truth look more like exhaustion, overwhelm, and confusion?
In this episode, Ludmila creates a space for an honest conversation about motherhood and speaks from her own experience of self-exploration when motherhood broke her and made her again. Because no book or course can prepare you for the role of a lifetime, and if you are struggling, it is okay!

“I remember talking to my own mom, and she told me, wow, I'm so happy for you. You are entering the best chapter of your life. And then we had our first son. And I looked in the mirror, and I couldn't recognize the person I was looking at. I had no idea who I was.” - Ludmila Woodruff
“So many women struggle in silence. And it doesn't have to be a struggle in silence. It can be an open communication and conversation that we all can have as a society, as culture, as communities, and as families.” - Ludmila Woodruff
“You can only love your kids and extend kindness to them to the extent that you do that for yourself.” - Ludmila Woodruff

As a mental health professional, attachment theory is not a new concept for me. Ludmila’s approach to outlining how attachment impacts our view of self and relationships was thoughtfully articulated. Her ability to connect with the listener and share valuable insights demonstrates her strong skillset as a coach and mentor.
This podcast is for everyone! You will NEVER regret listening and learning more about yourself AND receiving the tools to grow by unlearning old traits and learning, accepting and loving all of you. Ludmila does an amazing job of breaking really large concepts into bite size pieces for anyone to understand and apply. Invest in yourself and listen ♥️.
I’m so happy that you are diving in hyper independence and slowing down. Some women are even since you to operate on a flight mode and they don’t know any better cause that’s their norm. I’m glad your describing episodes that we don’t have to work that way that it’s not healthy to work that way.
Thank you so much! the title of your July 3, 2023 episode Uber hyper independence!
