As a brand made up of parents ourselves, conversations like this come up often on our team. Motherhood can sometimes feel like a constant balancing act between two impossible choices. We want to protect our children—physically, mentally, emotionally—but we also crave the support and connection of a strong community. And yet, it can feel like our boundaries don’t quite fit with building that village. Like we’re losing something either way. We’re sharing this, wondering have you felt this tension too? How do you navigate that line between setting boundaries and letting people in? - Madelynn, Sprout Marketing Team
