The Impossible Ask: The Cost of Being the Everything Parent
This is a core wound of modern motherhood. And it is an impossible ask. If you are a primary caregiver, a single parent, or someone who’s ever felt like the world is asking too much of you, this is for you. This was originally recorded as a voice note, to myself. I didn’t plan to share it. But sometimes, venting is wisdom. This is a reflection on what I’m calling the impossible ask—the unspoken expectation that primary caregivers, especially mothers, be fully present, emotionally attuned, financially abundant, and self-sacrificing… all at the same time, and all without support. If you’re in the thick of it, I see you. You’re not alone. Check out more of Lena's stories: trustinjoy.substack.com This is a public episode.
