Introducing: Parenting for the Culture, a show from The Black Love Podcast Network

A change in Felicia's co-parenting arrangement has her discovering more about who she is without being a full-time mother. This, in turn, has her wondering if the rest of the Mama's Den crew knows exactly who they are outside of motherhood and how they came to those realizations. PLUS what does it look like to try and find balance inside of motherhood with partners, fathers, and even the children? What are those expectations of what it is to be a mom? How are we handling the thought and concept (and occasional real feeling of) mom guilt?Mama's Den village what did you think? Do you know who you are outside of your role as a mother?

As the ladies discuss, sometimes the most revolutionary acts are finding the moments of joy in their corners of the world. Mama's Den community let's check in. How are you doing?
