Hi mamas.

Today, I have the pleasure of talking to Kendra Blake, an occupational therapist who has been supporting women throughout all stages of life for nearly a decade. In this powerful episode, Kendra shares her personal journey through motherhood, especially now as a mother of two young children, with her newest little one being just two weeks old!

We discuss her transition into motherhood, the unravelling of her perfectionism, and how she has come to deeply trust herself in this new role. Kendra talks about how the birth of her children has transformed her and how it's helping her grow as both a mother and a woman.

Here's what we cover:

Kendra’s journey into motherhood and the unexpected ways her perfectionism was challenged as she welcomed her first child and now, with her second.

• The emotional adjustment to life with two children
• Learning to trust herself and let go of control
• How motherhood has taught her the importance of trusting in her capacity
• How navigating motherhood without family support nearby has shaped her connection with her husband and her role as a mother
• The balance between meeting her own needs and caring for her children

Kendra’s honesty and self-reflection is an empowering reminder that we are all doing our best, even when it feels messy.
