Creating and Living Your Authentic Life
I had my last baby eight years ago! Feels like a lifetime when I see how far the baby products have come since then. The diaper bag I had was a brown satchel that wasn't just small, it hardly had any storage space. It cost a fortune and almost went through more trauma than I …

Hey Kim, You don't know me but I'm just a writer mom therapist woman from California who watches your show, who is also fascinated by the "come up" you had, mind boggled by y'all's ability to take opportunity by the muthafuckin' horns and also enamored by just how incredibly smart you are in making gobs …
First off, I'd like to say I'm only on my third glass of wine for the night. In normal life, that would be excessive, but in quarantine life, it sounds about right. Let me just say that I, in no way am condoning drinking as a coping mechanism to get through quarantine, because that's not …

I've been moving through phases like the moon. I aspire to be full, only to get caught back in the dark and remerge as New. Not quite whole, I struggle to deal with the demons I can't slay. I continue on course emerging as the crescent, allowing the light in to stay. The hope to …

But it can also give you, as a parent, the break you never knew you needed. I can't tell you the last time (before my divorce) …

I'm not ashamed to say that motherhood has been by far the hardest thing I've ever done. The day to day struggle of taking care of little ones while trying to take care of myself, it's an exhaustion no one could have prepared me for. Late nights, early mornings, midnight surprises, the physical strain is …

Becoming a mother gave me a new perspective on every mother there ever was. The mother who had 10 kids, 5 kids, 2 kids, 1 kid. The mother who had a miscarriage, or several. The mother who was never able to have children, but yearned to. The aunt who never had her own, so she …
I have a handful of close "mom friends" in my real life, and I use the term "close" loosely. I might speak to them a few times a month, but that doesn't quite feel like I'm meeting the quota. So I tried to find a label that would define me, and my odd repulsive feelings …
