The Truth About Motherhood: Embracing Every Emotion with Dr. Margo Lowy

Motherhood is a journey of contradictions—joy and exhaustion, love and frustration, connection and independence. In this episode of the Women Express Podcast, psychotherapist Dr. Margo Lowy explores the power of embracing these complexities through maternal ambivalence—the ability to hold multiple emotions at once. She challenges the myth of the “perfect mother,” offering a refreshing perspective on self-compassion, growth, and the beauty of imperfection. We dive into the impact of social media, the evolving dynamics of modern motherhood, and how embracing both the highs and lows can lead to deeper connections with our children and ourselves.
