On this solo episode, Julia, the host of A Podcast for Moms, gives a short podcast update and she reflects on what it’s been like to get to know herself in motherhood and how motherhood has shaped her current experience with her friendships and her community. Julia’s reflections were prompted by the conversation she had with EP 08’s guest, Chyla Walsh.

As she shares, Julia includes personal stories about overcoming alcoholism and addiction, some childhood experiences that have informed how she shows up as a mom, and the beauty she has found in surrendering to what is and being okay with “the unknowingness of not knowing who [she is].”
