The Invisible Labor In Motherhood

In this heartfelt episode, I’m  diving into what it really means to be your true, authentic self, especially in motherhood. As moms, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison or feel the pressure to show up a certain way. But the truth is, the more we lean into who we really are, the more we attract the people meant to walk this journey with us. We’re talking about the courage it takes to be yourself, how to let go of perfection, and why authenticity is the greatest gift you can give to your children and to yourself. This is a real and raw conversation for any mom who’s ever felt like she had to shrink, shift, or perform to fit in. Your people will find you when you show up as you.You can also find this episode in YouTube for full visuals at Hey Girl Hey with Becca! 

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day episode, I take a moment to honor all the mothers that are in the thick of it, balancing little ones, endless responsibilities, and the ever-present pull to do it all. I explore both ends of the spectrum in motherhood, the seasons where we need to slow down and give ourselves grace, and the moments when we feel a fire in our hearts to chase our dreams. This is your reminder that it’s okay to pause, to take a step back when life feels heavy, but never forget the magic within you. Your gifts, your light, your purpose. They still matter.This episode is a gentle nudge to reflect, breathe, and remember: you are appreciated, you are seen, and above all, you are deeply loved. Happy Mother’s Day.

In this episode, I dive deep into the unseen, unspoken, and often unappreciated mental load that mothers carry every single day, the invisible labor of motherhood. From remembering doctor’s appointments, keeping track of grocery lists, managing everyone’s emotional well-being, to being the default parent. It’s the  constant background work that keeps the household running, but rarely gets acknowledged.I open up about my own experiences with invisible labor. The mental exhaustion, the moments of resentment, and the internal struggle of wanting to do it all while feeling unseen. This isn’t just about chores; it’s about the emotional and mental toll of always being “on.” If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the whole world in your mind while trying to smile through it, this episode is for you.SOCIALS: IG: Heygirlhey_withbecca CONNECT WITH ME:E-mail: [email protected]
