I Didn't Lose Myself in Motherhood, I Never Found Myself Before It, a Roundtable with Libby Ward","description":"In this roundtable, Ashley Blackington and I sit down with Libby Ward for a raw and honest conversation about the invisible weight of motherhood\u2014the guilt, shame, and anxiety so many of us carry but rarely say out loud.&amp;nbsp; Libby is a self-described recovering people pleaser, serial burnout escaper, wholeness hunter, ex-martyr, and chronic silliness seeker. She shares how her own journey, along with her new book, Honest Motherhood, gives language to the hard things we\u2019re all feeling but often afraid to admit. We talk about how no one truly has motherhood \u201cfigured out,\u201d even if it looks that way on the outside, and why hiding behind perfection is costing us our sanity and relationships.&amp;nbsp; If you love your kids deeply but secretly wish everyone would stop talking to you for four uninterrupted minutes, this conversation is for you.
