The Untold Realities of Motherhood

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!

KEY POINTS:

  • The all-consuming truth of motherhood
  • Challenges motherhood can bring to a relationship
  • Why is there a stigma around the struggles of motherhood?
  • How children are mirrors of ourselves
  • Acceptance, grace, and compassion

QUOTABLES:

“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.

I’ve had the pleasure of being present in zooms with Ludmila and she has a vast knowledge on how to really dig deep into whatever issue you’re having. This podcast is a great extension to be able to get to know her better and have her share her knowledge. All episodes are a must to listen to! She is an amazing individual!

This podcast continues to open my eyes to growth opportunities in my interpersonal relationships, and more importantly the self-love / boundaries that I struggle to create. Episodes help me discover where my work is in a loving way. It’s worth listening to on repeat on my commute and then again when I can take notes and share with others (including my kids). I have not had the opportunity to work with Ludmila… yet.
