For almost any long-term career, we prepare and take years to study the subjects so we can learn all about our upcoming career and the lifestyle that goes along with it. Motherhood is a sacred and special time in a woman's life, but our preparation for it has been undervalued and brushed to one side in favor of focusing on just keeping our heads above the water. We may take a class and perhaps rea...

We’ve all been there, our sweet little baby that we adore, does something that infuriates us so much that we question our own life choices. We love our babies and would never do anything to hurt them but they can cause rage in us that we’ve never experienced before motherhood arrived. So what is exactly “Mom Rage”? Well, It’s a term for the unrestrained anger many women experience during pregnancy...

The term " narcissis t" is such a buzzword right now. You hear it everywhere in regular conversation as well as in so many social media memes, videos, and posts. The term used to be only reserved for an actual diagnosis from a doctor or licensed mental health professional.  The unfortunate part of this is that so many people are being mislabeled by parents, family, strangers on the internet when t...

No matter your size, shape, or features, every woman has natural beauty. Unfortunately, many of the standards that society and social media have brought about are a type of epidemic on its own: We are all beautiful in our own way but most of us like the confidence to know it.  On this episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I sit down with Dr. Lynn Nieman, M.D .  of Blossom Aesthetic and together we tak...

Hey Sister!  I am so excited about today's episode, as I've been waiting so long to share it.  For most women, having a baby is a wonderful and joyful time. For some, it can be a very stressful, anxious time. It can also produce something that one might not expect – depression. Many women will experience “baby blues” following childbirth that usually last a few days up to 6 weeks.  Sometimes, a mo...

Hey sister!  According to Webster's dictionary,  the definition of obedience  is “the act or instance of obeying; the quality  or state of being obedient.” Additionally, the definition of obedient is  “submissive to the restraint or command of authority: willing to obey.” When we look at Christian obedience, it is merely the act of obeying the commands of God. If you have faith in God and believe...

There's no such thing as perfection in motherhood.  There's no perfect mother, just like no perfect child or perfect husband or perfect family or a perfect marriage. Society is filled with so mixed messages that make moms feel inadequate — no matter what we do.  This is especially true in the Instagram-perfect and highly curated digital world. We are constantly bombarded with images that evoke "pe...

Your self-worth is a function of how much we value ourselves. So many moms are unaware of their self-worth and have never stopped considering if they believe they deserve what they desire to create or accomplish in their lives. Our self-worth can be rooted in our own perceptions of ourselves, often attributed to present or past traumas, anxiety, or other perceptions we create. However, they should...
