More isn't a Dirty Word
In this episode of 'The Summer of Me', Kendra discusses the societal pressures and guilt women often feel about wanting more in life beyond motherhood. She emphasizes that wanting more—whether it be in terms of career, personal growth, or self-identity—is not only acceptable but necessary for a fulfilling life. Kendra shares her personal experiences and insights on balancing motherhood with ambition, the importance of setting boundaries, and the generational guilt that often holds women back. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to embrace their desires for more and to model this expansion for future generations. takeaways Wanting more is not a dirty word. Women often feel guilty for wanting more in life. Balancing motherhood and personal ambitions is possible. Self-identity should not be solely defined by motherhood. Generational guilt affects women's ambitions. Settling for less leads to resentment. Guilt keeps women small and exhausted. Wanting more does not mean being ungrateful. Role modeling expansion is crucial for children. Embrace your desire for more, even if it's inconvenient.
