When You Feel Like a Bad Mom

Today on Mombies Unite, I'm so excited to feature Emily Fisk's words. If her name sounds familiar, you may remember her powerful essay, Parenting Bravely in a Frightening World. Emily has a way of boiling truth down to its simplest form and then gently streaming it onto a page. This post resonated with me deeply. If you (like me) often find yourself in self-deprecating mom mode, this one's for you.

Parenting Bravely in a Frightening World

I don't know if worrying or being afraid compounds as we get older but I do know that fear is a side effect of birthing children. In fact, I wrote a whole post about it here before we headed off to Kenya with our 7-month-old. Today on Mombies Unite, Emily calls parenting "a constant exercise in bravery" and because her writing is exact and real and true, I'm not going to say one more word so that you can get right to hers.
