(Part 1) When Surviving Is better than Thriving – Giving Yourself Permission to Pause

Are you a mom who's stretched thin and constantly feeling like you're falling short? You're not alone—and you're not failing.

In this episode of Perfectly Imperfect: Embracing Real Motherhood, Jenny and Felicia get real about the messy, exhausting, and totally normal seasons of motherhood where thriving feels impossible—and survival is a win. Whether you're solo parenting, navigating a major life change, or just overwhelmed by the daily juggle, this is your permission to hang up the Supermom cape and say, "Not today."

We get honest about the emotional toll of trying to do it all, and why giving yourself permission not to is one of the healthiest choices you can make. We talk about what it means to let go of unrealistic expectations and redefine what "being enough" really looks like.

This heartfelt and relatable episode is a must-listen for moms seeking real talk, validation, and encouragement. Hear our personal stories of navigating big life shifts, caring for sick kids, and getting through everyday meltdowns so you can better navigate your own seasons of stress with less guilt and more self-compassion.
