How can you spend all day taking care of people and still feel like you’re doing it alone?
This week on Unlonely, I sit down with Libby Ward, author of Honest Motherhood, to talk about the mental load, mom rage, and what happens when you get so good at taking care of everybody else that you forget what you need.
Libby tells me about a friendship that started over an ordinary cup of coffee. Years later, after her dad died, that friend offered to come over and help organize her office. Or just sit with her while she did it. After years of feeling like she could only rely on herself, Libby started to see what it meant to have someone she could count on.
Everybody says it takes a village. Libby thinks of hers as a quilt she’s had to stitch together over time, piece by piece and person by person. And here’s the part I love: nobody has to be the whole damn quilt.
