Modern motherhood’s great expectations are leaving women feeling broken when they experience something else - shock, fear, doubt, anger, grief, loneliness, resentment - alongside the mandated joy and wonder.

A recent campaign by the motherhood app Peanut revealed that 72% of UK mothers feel invisible, and a whopping 93% feel underappreciated, unacknowledged, or unseen.

How many times do you question whether you are good enough?

Do you ever feel like you're constantly striving to do more, give more, and be more? Not just as a mother, but across all the many roles you play in your life.

But let's be honest, does enough ever really feel like enough?

Feeling unsatisfied with motherhood is a familiar experience for a lot of women. The demands of juggling work, parenting and our own needs can leave us feeling stretched to our limits, so it's understandable to question if there's more to this journey than mere survival sometimes.

In an era when women are supposed to be, and feel, more liberated than ever before, modern-day motherhood can be unforgivingly perfectionist.

For the sake of mothers everywhere, it's time to let go of the myth.

Instead, we need to start celebrating the real-life experiences of mothers - the good, the bad and the ugly.

Motherhood may not come with an instruction manual, but it does come with an overwhelming amount of external noise about what a ‘good mother’ should look like, feel like, and how she should behave.

Think of your Motherhood Code like your unique motherhood compass - the new set of beliefs and standards you want to live, mother and work by.
