Welcome to Unmasking Motherhood, where we share unfiltered motherhood stories! In this episode, I chat with Lyndsey, a working mom from Ithaca, NY, raising two boys (almost 5 and 1) with her teacher husband. From an unplanned pregnancy and abortion at 22 to embracing working mom life, Lyndsey gets real about the mental load, mom rage, and letting go of perfectionism. If you’re a mom navigating career, kids, or the messy emotions of parenting, this real mom story will hit home.   What You’ll Hear:
  • Lyndsey’s life: Full-time nonprofit work, a teaching husband, and kids in Pre-K/daycare.
  • Her journey: From an abortion at 22 to choosing motherhood later with intention.
  • Mom rage: Finding release in loud music and facing frustration as a parent.
  • Mental load: The unseen weight of managing it all—and learning to drop balls.
  • Wisdom for moms: Why it’s okay to struggle and how partnerships evolve.
