0:24 welcome to Mom's chew te the podcast
0:26 where bombs can spill the true tea on
0:28 various stop provoking topics and
0:30 challenge beliefs about motherhood
0:32 authentically unapologetically and
0:35 without judgment I'm your host Kendall
0:37 Lea Williams I wanted to officially
0:40 announce the upcoming launch of Mom's
0:43 Che te coming soon I know what you're
0:45 thinking not another podcast but trust
0:48 me mom's Sho te will be different and
0:51 I'll tell you why I didn't want to just
0:53 start another podcast with no true
0:55 purpose but rather wanted to create an
0:59 authentic Unapologetic non-judgmental
1:01 community and a safe space for moms who
1:03 don't always have that warm and fuzzy
1:05 feeling we're expected to have when it
1:08 comes to Motherhood I titled the podcast
1:10 mom's chy with the play on the word mom
1:14 spelling it muum very intentionally
1:16 because it means one who acts without
1:20 speaking or remains silent wow I thought
1:23 that was very fitting as it relates to
1:24 women navigating this journey called
1:27 motherhood and just life period because
1:30 somehow the title mom has come with the
1:32 expectation that we should always remain
1:34 silent about how we really feel about
1:37 being Mom some days we're walking around
1:39 suppressing our true feelings while
1:41 losing ourselves in the process we're
1:43 forced to be strong and keep it all
1:46 together even when truthfully we are
1:49 falling apart in fact you'd be surprised
1:51 how many women are suffering in silence
1:53 and ones that are dealing with anxiety
1:55 fighting depression they're overly
1:58 stressed and even battling illnesses
1:59 because of the pressure that has come
2:02 with motherhood such as myself and
2:05 that's because we don't feel safe having
2:07 these real conversations for fear of
2:10 being judged so what do we do we stay
2:13 silent then we feel isolated we feel
2:17 alone we feel guilt and ashamed because
2:19 our true feelings about motherhood
2:23 aren't the typical societal normal
2:25 feelings because we're all here fighting
2:28 for our lives and there is a myth that
2:32 the motherhood is this big joy and
2:34 that's a lie and we shouldn't feel
2:37 guilty about feeling that way and don't
2:39 you dare feel bad seeing these moms on
2:41 social media making it look like
2:44 motherhood is easy because trust me
2:45 they're struggling
2:48 too and that's because motherhood is no
2:51 joke it's not for the week it is
2:53 literally the hardest and longest job
2:55 ever it's one where you never get any
2:59 days off sometimes it comes off with
3:02 disrespect a lack of appreciation and a
3:04 lot of Heartache in fact I've always
3:07 said moms deal with all the abuse but we
3:09 don't get to make any
3:13 excuses and just know I take this
3:16 platform not lightly and I did just come
3:19 up with another podcast overnight this
3:22 podcast has been in my heart my iPhone
3:25 Notes and my head for over seven years
3:28 now but life got in the way I'm also
3:31 admittedly a profession I tend to focus
3:33 on all the Minor Details and wanting
3:35 everything to be perfect and in doing so
3:38 I lose focus of the purpose as a matter
3:40 of fact I probably recorded this like
3:44 six times and to be honest I also had a
3:46 major case of the Whata ifs you know
3:49 like what If I Stumble over my words I
3:52 will and I have as you've already heard
3:53 and what if people don't want to hear
3:56 another podcast what if moms aren't
4:00 really ready to have these real truthful
4:04 conversations and am I ready for what
4:07 comes with creating a platform like this
4:09 then you know what I had to tell myself
4:11 women are going to connect with you even
4:13 if you're stumbling over your words and
4:16 even if the podcast isn't perfect
4:17 they'll be able to relate to some of
4:20 your experiences if not all and will
4:22 feel a sense of relief and realize they
4:25 are not alone and how they feel most
4:28 days about not only motherhood but life
4:31 then I had to tell El Millions will
4:33 listen to the podcast and they'll join
4:35 this community just keep showing up as
4:38 your most authentic self as you only
4:40 know how and sharing your real life
4:44 experiences and spilling the true tea I
4:46 am fully aware I do not speak for all
4:49 moms so before you moms want to tussle
4:51 hear me out I do know that I am speaking
4:55 for most though like the ones are really
4:56 struggling with this thing trying to
4:58 figure it out and the ones that are just
5:02 playing tired like me in fact I have
5:04 PTSD from motherhood I've been a mom
5:07 since I was 17 years old and I have
5:10 experienced almost everything you could
5:14 imagine as a mother and as a woman and
5:16 during my journey I wish that I would
5:18 have had a community of women that were
5:22 authentic supportive non-judgmental and as
5:23 as
5:26 Unapologetic as Unapologetic as I am
5:28 when it came to discussing not only the
5:31 highs of mother Hood but also the Lowe's
5:33 even if they didn't share my
5:36 experiences but wait this community is
5:38 not just for moms who are out here
5:40 fighting for our lives with motherhood
5:43 it's also for the moms who feel like hey
5:44 maybe they have this thing figured out
5:47 and they may not be struggling and they
5:50 absolutely love motherhood it's also for
5:52 the women preparing for motherhood and
5:55 even for those who don't want to be moms
