The Fifth Trimester : If Mother’s Day Is Hard For You ❤️‍🩹

About this episode

<p>Ahead of Mother&rsquo;s Day this Sunday, Bella and Lu from our little sister poddy, The Fifth Trimester, are dropping in for a special lil chat/pep talk/warm hug for anyone who may find this day hard to navigate. Whether you&rsquo;re longing to be a mum, missing your mum, caring for your mum, dealing with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a tricky mother-in-law dynamic, or a single mum... It&rsquo;s a day that can put all of that under a microscope and really illuminate the pain. Lu opens up about how, in the wake of her divorce, Mother&rsquo;s Day, and other big, celebratory moments now come with an undercurrent of sadness. Bella shares what it&rsquo;s been like stepping into the role of legal guardian for her mum following a dementia diagnosis. The girls also share how they&rsquo;re marking the day together this year, complete with a full-blown boycott of the whole damn thing. We hope this alternative view point makes you feel less alone, DLs.</p> <p>Share this episode with your loved ones x</p> <p>Follow us:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_fifth_trimester/?hl=en">@the_fifth_trimester</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
