The parts of motherhood that can feel the most isolating are often the ones no one sees.

The laundry done with a crying baby in your arms. The meals you meant to make but never got to. The task list that followed you all day, and the voice at night that still said, you didn’t do enough.

In our latest nümama Let’s Get Real conversation, Maggie Keating shares the honest parts of becoming a mom: feeling overwhelmed by comparison, struggling to recognize the invisible work she was doing, and learning to let go of the idea that she should already know how to do it all.

Because the truth is: you have never done this before.
You are not failing because it feels hard. You are learning a new role while caring for someone you love deeply, and that counts more than you know.

And in the middle of caring for your baby, you deserve care and nourishment, too.

In my opinion, being a parent is the most amazing journey anyone can ever truly go on. Not just because of all the special moments of joy and laughter and pure love. But also, and dare I say mainly, because it’s hard. Raising children is no cake walk. It requires an incredible amount of self sacrifice to merely keep them alive, let alone raise them to be healthiest and happiest versions of themselves. And it is this level of difficulty that brings with it all the lessons, and growth, and evolution of one’s soul thru the process. 

Every day I get to watch the woman I love invest so much of her heart, mind, body, and soul into our son, with the love and strength and patience that I would wish on every child. Every day I get to experience the breaking of generational trauma, as we both continue to learn and work and grow as Henson’s parents. It’s inspiring and fulfilling on levels that I didn’t even know possible. 

Happy Mother’s Day, @maggiekeating I’m so grateful for you, so proud of you, and Henny and I are so blessed to have a mama bear like you in our lives. 🥰🙏😘

Happy birthday to my best friend & partner in everything!!! 🤍

We’ve built so much side by side, always aligned in vision, in work, in life… and yes, even when I talked you into a pink princess ball gown 🤪 hehe

Getting to watch you become a momma has been so beautiful 🥹 32 weeks at 32 is pretty iconic. You’re just getting started, baby girl. Love you endlessly!
