How do we cope with grief while parenting?
I'm not showing up at all for my kids because I'm just so wrapped up in my own grief. There's this narrative to women that being a mother is such a burden and like children are chains. I felt that in the past.
This is probably gonna get cut, but when I was thinking about pros and cons to getting married. This is un-in. Found out I was pregnant, my business was failing, and I was like, dang, this is just not at all what I pictured my life to be like. It'd take a long time for newlyweds to catch up. You'll never catch up to us.
Oh my god.
Always here to share the hope and the heart with heart and humor.
welcome back to always here with abby and abby is that how we're gonna do it i like that okay ah i feel like this week has been crazy with the launch and the announcement and everything i know it's a big week i'm really excited about it and we just want to say thank you also so much for all the excitement about it um you guys spoke we listened and it's been so fun i literally think about this like all the time i'm like the fact that we get to call this working but it's just
hanging out with your sisters and just like having fun like what a blessing this is I saw a comment that said that they're like how fun is it that you guys get to just work and spend time together I'm like that's so true that's how I feel I feel like the build-up to the announcement in the first episode was so much work like anticipation figuring everything out like we were super intentional and serious about things
What makes Kelsea Ballerini's song resonate with parents?

fun totally i was uh i'm logged into the always here email and i've been getting the emails about all the voicemails coming through and i'm like oh my gosh there's so many that come really yes i'm excited i'm excited too does that go to your phone addy um no i just have it on my email oh okay i was gonna say i have it sorry it goes straight to voicemail so they don't have to wait through like smart tones of it and then they get your little jingles

uh in life and so i have uh a hope which i kind of feel bad saying actually i had like a i had two little versions of me on my shoulder when i was thinking of mine this morning i was like it's not nice because i have two sister-in-laws with little babies that probably aren't sleeping but oh no she's sleeping like a princess in a season where i'm sleeping really good and i feel guilty saying that guys yeah you can look at it as a hope to your future i hope that you're sleeping well for our sake you should be we hope that we we can't we're not sleeping so we're not doing great that was actually my heart oh really i'm so sorry we're on the same wavelength i hate that i think the reason this feels so rewarding though is like knowing
