I'm a truth-telling creator, advocate and author. I’ve got 99 problems. Being honest about them isn’t one.
You can love your kids and still struggle with motherhood. We talk about the mental load, the pressure to be productive, self-doubt, overwhelm, and what it looks like to move from doing all the "shoulds" to doing what we actually need. We talk Nervous system support, repair and what it means to raise kids differently than we were raised.
The perfectly packaged image of motherhood is everywhere, but it's also completely unattainable. In conversation around her debut memoir, Libby unpacks the impossible standards mothers face, the scrutiny behind every choice they make, and why radical honesty about the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood might just be what saves us.
Libby talks candidly about what it looks like to wake up mid-motherhood and realize you never actually knew yourself to begin with. Complex trauma, grief, repair, and the identity loss that happens even before motherhood. We talk about overfunctioning, perfectionism, and hypervigilance disguised as "being a good mom". Cycle breakers, don’t miss this one.

ABOUT ME
Back when TikTok was still everyone’s dirty little secret, I decided to tell the internet about my struggles. I shed light on the crap shoot that is modern motherhood with awkward dance moves and rage-fueled rants. As it turned out, I wasn’t alone.
Other women were sick of pretending too.
Sharing about my problems helped in countless ways. I realized that I was just as deserving of the care I give everyone else. I learned to say no and prioritize myself. People say I’ve helped them do the same. So, I became known as 'The Honest Mom'.
It all started when
The Pressure to Be Everything to Everyone Broke Me
as a mom, I wasn't okay
The thing is, modern motherhood isn't the only thing robbing us of our well-being.
Now I share about the many things that affect women’s ability to be well. I’m far from perfect. But here is what I know in the marrow of my aging millennial bones: Life is hard. Having a friend to be real with along the way makes all the difference. That is what I'm here for.
Welcome. We’re emotionally available and mildly chaotic here.
It’s good. You’ll see.
My newsletter, Actually Honest, is made of often validating, sometimes funny, and always honest hot-takes and confessionals from a lady figuring out how to be okay when so many things are not.
