How can I re-find joy in motherhood while balancing the demands of caregiving?

Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode, I coach Sarah and address the question, “How can I re-find joy in motherhood while balancing the demands of caregiving?” It was important to Sarah to be a stay-at-home mom when her children were little. Now that they are older, Sarah feels less fulfilled in this role and notices this is affecting her relationship with her kids.

Sarah and I discuss how household chores and parenting are not synonymous. I suggest that Sarah sit down with her spouse, delegate household chores to each family member, and then hold them accountable to their jobs. In taking these tasks off of her plate, Sarah will be able to redefine herself and what she does with her time.
