Elizabeth (Liz) is a 34 year old single mum, candidly sharing her experiences of the transition into pregnancy, sobriety, and single motherhood. With humility, opens up about pregnancy body image struggles, quiet resentment towards her ex partner, mum guilt, and the pressure of cultural myths that romanticize motherhood—revealing what no one talks about.
