F*ck It Mothering

#boundaries #sayingno #codependency Do you find yourself always saying 'yes' whenever people ask you for favors?

One of the biggest concerns for parents who are divorcing is the effect the divorce will have on their children. In fact, this concern can weigh so heavy, that sometimes it keeps individuals in marriages that are no longer healthy (and sometimes no longer safe), with the thought of, "Staying together is what's best for the kids". On this week's episode, host Amanda Haro is joined...

Happy F*ck It Friday, mamas! Hosts Amanda Haro , Samantha Trujillo & Amanda de La Madriz are back to say f*ck it to the annoying, sucky bits of motherhood.

This week host Amanda Haro is joined by Gao Mostsemme, who shares her story of being met wi...

Even though the divorce rate in America has been a steady 50% for a hot minute, divorce still has a taboo around it. A stigma behind it. Shame that comes hand in hand with it, because the underlying belief is still: if someone is getting divorced, this means that they failed in their marriage. But what if we stopped looking at divorce as a problem? What if we started seeing divorce as the neutral...
