Alright, let’s cut the shit—I’ve been holding back. Unapologetic Motherhood was always meant to be raw, real, and unfiltered… but I’ve still been playing it small. I’ve been trying to be the digestible, relatable mom bestie, making sure my words never ruffle too many feathers. But here’s the truth: that’s not who I am.

In real life, my friends and family come to me when they want the cold, hard truth—the kind that stings a little but ultimately makes you better. And that’s exactly what this podcast is going to be moving forward. No more soft-filtered takes, no more watering things down so they’re easy to swallow. We’re getting real, we’re getting blunt, and if that’s not your vibe? Respectfully, you can choke on me.

Expect more raw honesty, more bluntness, and a lot less ‘self-help guru’ energy. Because motherhood isn’t a curated, step-by-step guide—it’s fucking gnarly, and we’re talking about it exactly how it is.
