What happens when a mother tells the truth about how she feels?
On this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky cracks open the viral Instagram post that stirred up thousands of reactions...both deeply supportive and shockingly judgmental.

The post was simple:

“I’m a parent who does not thrive with constant little-kid energy.”

But the internet heard:
“You don’t love your kids.”
“You’re cold.”
“You’re rejecting your children.”
“You shouldn’t have had them.”

In today’s conversation, Vanessa breaks down why mothers’ honesty is so threatening, the emotional labor that gets erased in motherhood, and the very real nervous-system limitations that social media refuses to acknowledge.

This episode is a grounded, unfiltered look at what mothers actually experience behind the scenes and why naming those truths is not only allowed, but essential for our mental health, our relationships, and our kids’ emotional safety.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for being overstimulated, overwhelmed, touched-out, or simply human…
this episode will feel like coming home.
