feat. Steph Wong a senior Google leader, mama, and host of In Real Life (IRL) with Steph Wong podcast.
I love my kids...but I don't love being a mom. Loving your kids without losing yourself.
In this episode of The Char Hotline, I’m joined by Steph Wong for a radically honest conversation about the parts of motherhood we’re not supposed to say out loud.
We talk about:
Loving your kids while grieving your autonomy
Ambition, resentment, burnout, and identity loss
Why “you should be grateful” keeps moms silent
How telling the truth doesn’t make you a bad mom — it makes you a real one
This episode is especially for high-achieving, racialized, and deeply thoughtful moms who feel like they’re failing at something they were never meant to do alone.
No fixing. No shaming. No toxic positivity.
Just truth, permission, and space to exhale🫶🏽
