What is the journey of motherhood really like?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for our topic today because we have one mother of a topic. What is it? Motherhood. So me personally, I'm a mom of three adult kids, and I gotta say, motherhood, it is a journey, and there are some days it just feels like a bad trip. Boy, have I made some mistakes. And whether you're a mom, you wanna be one, you've lost one, or you're still trying to figure out your relationship with yours, I cannot wait to have this conversation with you. And you don't need to be a mom, by the way, or even want to be a mom to get something out of what we're gonna talk about. Because what we're really talking about is relationships and how to think about the topic of motherhood and your relationship with your mom or your adult kids in a whole new way. And we're gonna cover it all. The surprises, the struggles, the things I wish I had known sooner, the things I would go back in time and change if I could time travel and snap my fingers and do that.
I'm gonna talk about the guilt, the expectations, the pressure to do it all perfectly. And if you're a new mom or you're about to be a new mom, I'm gonna tell you the things that no one else will tell you. And if your kids are already grown like mine, We're going to talk about how to build the strongest relationships with them yet, even when you screwed a lot of things up like I did. If you've ever wanted a better understanding of your mom, our conversation today is going to help you see her in a whole new way. And if your mom is still with us, she is going to love to hear this conversation too. Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I'm so excited for our conversation today.

And because you made the time. to hit play and listen to this particular episode. Here's what I know about you. You're the kind of person who values your family, and that can be your given family, it can be your chosen family, and you also value celebrating the special people in your life. And I wanna tell you something before we jump into the topic of all things moms and kids and the connection between you and your mom, is someone sent you this episode. I'll tell you why. It's because they really want to have a closer connection with you. And if you're a mom, they probably sent it to you also to tell you, you did a good job, and I think you're going to love hearing the conversation today. Because today, you and I are talking all about moms. And you certainly have a mom, or if she's no longer with us, you had one, or you had a mother figure.
And if you are a mom, or if you're about to be a mom, or if you're wondering, do I even... Want to have kids? Well, this is going to make you think so differently. First of all, about your own experience growing up, about the role of a parent, about the fears that are so normal to have before you become a parent, the questions that people have about whether or not they even want to become a mom or a dad. This conversation is going to just crack open your heart. It's going to make you think about your own childhood, about your own mom. You're going to want to share this with your sisters, with your friends, with your mom, your daughter-in-laws, your daughters. Anybody that's about to have kids are going to love this or just had a baby. I cannot wait to see how this opens up really amazing conversations with you and the people that you care about.
That it makes you think differently about one of the most important jobs in the world. And that's the job of being a mom. And today, I'm so excited to dive into this because I have my friend and colleague, Jessie, here. And Jessie is one month away from becoming a mom for the first time. She's terrified and excited.
