In this heartfelt and honest episode of Diary of a Dreamer, I sit down with Allie, co-host of Good Grief Momma Podcast, to talk about the realities of motherhood, marriage, and modern comparison culture. Together, we explore how social media has magnified the pressure to “do it all” from parenting and homeschooling to maintaining the perfect home and body and why it’s time to trade comparison for connection.

Allie shares her journey, the inspiration behind Good Grief Momma, and her passion for creating a “middle ground” space for moms, one that’s relatable but also uplifting. The conversation dives into the tension between authenticity and oversharing, the hidden struggles behind seemingly “perfect” lives, and how comparison often blinds us to the full story.

From social media highlight reels to messy kitchens, sourdough loaves, and unexpected Mountain Dew confessions, this episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about grace, growth, and finding humor in the chaos.
