Episode 7: Ep 7: Navigating the ups and downs of motherhood with Lani Lipson and Jordana Handler of Ee-mah

This week, Shannon chat with Lani Lipson and Jordana Handler, who are both moms and the co-founders of Ee-mah (formerly known as "100 days of"). Lani and Jordana are best friends who navigated the wild world of postpartum together, and realized that there were so many things no one told you about motherhood. They consistently held space for one another’s journey in a non-judgmental, supportive way, and it helped them both come out the other end relatively unscathed. Ee-mah is an extension of their anonymous storytelling platform, @100_daysof where they will continue to explore the things that no one tells you about motherhood.

Topics discussed:

1. What Ee-mah is all about
2. What no one ever tells you about motherhood
3. Common issues/stories/experiences that moms have shared through the ee-mah community
4. Our personal experiences as moms
5. How relationships with your partner and/or family and friends can change once you become a mom
6. Mom "competition" and mom guilt
7. Normalizing the ups and downs of motherhood
8. Our biggest pieces of advice for navigating motherhood
9. Why self care is so important and how to incorporate self care into your day
