About this listen
It’s been over a month since Eady last posted, and that’s because life absolutely spiraled. In this episode, she breaks down the thirty days that felt like several lifetimes, including nine days living at the hospital with her grandfather, temporarily turning her home into a multi-generational care facility, and surprising her husband with a foyer renovation he definitely did not request.
Somewhere between a surprise wedding, unfinished Christmas decorations, sending her 95-year-old houseguest back home for everyone’s sanity, and Santa delivering a full-blown basement kid cave, Eady managed to upset nearly everyone she loves. Her husband is annoyed. Her mom isn’t speaking to her. Her cousin is mad. And Eady is left emotionally unpacking how trying to help turned into a month-long group grievance.
This episode is for the helpers, the people pleasers, and the moms who are exhausted, lonely, and realizing that good intentions don’t come with a satisfaction guarantee. It’s chaotic, honest, and very unfiltered.
