You need to have some harder conversations.” “You have to be flexible with your expectations, not only with the baby but with yourself.” “It's so easy to get so wrapped up in the things that we're not doing, and then we lose focus on the beautiful things we are doing.” - Linda Fruits Click here for the show notes and extra resources.

Her mission in life is to normalize the sweet, bitter and bittersweet Fruits of Motherhood, with a side of humor. This year, Linda wrote, designed and illustrated her first book called, The Mom Life.

Linda's book will be a must-have for every new mother trying to maneuver the realities of daily life with small children. The Mom Life creates a safe space and a vital contrast to the deluge of information and picture-perfect parenthood accounts popping up across social media. Full of powerful and empowering advice for women. In addition, Linda hosts a new podcast called Fruits of Motherhood and now offers transformational motherhood life coaching. She helps moms make meaningful changes in their lives and overcome the guilt about doing so. As a coach, she'll help you love the mother you already are and find the empowerment to move towards a more fulfilling life because taking care of you, is taking care of your children's mommy.

Happy Pride Month!!! Today we welcome one of the funniest, honest, beautiful and real women on Instagram. Linda Fruits is the founder of the content company and creator of the Instagram account @FruitsOfMotherhood that covers the sweet, sour, and sometimes rotten fruits that motherhood bears . The catalyst for this ep was a post and blog Linda shared in August 2021, called, "Why my husband and I are calling it quits - even though we still love each other."She says,"It took me 32 years to figure out what TikTok uncovered in a matter of minutes. I am attracted to women. Admitting that to myself was hard and then telling my husband was even harder...Being attracted to the same sex never occurred to me until TikTok showed me a specific type of woman I had never really been exposed to before. And I felt something I had never felt before...If you told me six months ago I would be writing this, I might've laughed in your face, but deep down inside, maybe I always knew it was coming. My content is not going to change. I'm still a mother who struggles every day, and my marriage jokes will also be the same since we're all living together under one roof...My mission and everything I do is do bring acceptance to anyone who is feeling the same. All our differences and similarities make us who we are. This is who I am, and there is no changing it. Safe to say I'm even extra fruity now.Here's to being fruity as hell, because as Linda says so beautifully, this coming out - it's more than sexuality, it's individuality.Hit play, and dive in.- K+K
