Joey Fortman (Founder, RealityMoms)

Joey Fortman is the brains behind #RealityMoms. In 2008, after 20+ years in traditional media hosting radio shows around the country, Joey traded in the microphone for a diaper bag, struggling through her own personal crisis: unemployed, overweight, and lost in the land of mommy bloggers. Little did Joey know, her traditional media background would pave the way for success at Real Mom Media. As a sought after media magnet, Joey has been featured nationally on Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Anderson Cooper, the Katie Couric Show, Dr. Oz, Redbook, The Today Show, The Talk, Fox and Friends & The Newlywed Game. When not at the sports complex with one of her kids, on an island or a grocery store run, or on Facebook Live with #RealityMoms contributors, Joey is obsessed with adult coloring.

#RealMomProblems #realitymoms #motherhoodunleashed #baby
It’s that season again. The season when I get so It’s that season again. The season when I get so tired I can barely hold my head up. I’m pretty sure I know the why. 
.
#Motherhood can totally suck the life and joy out of me some days. I don’t love being a chauffeur. Or a short order chef that no one eats. I don’t love having to watch pennies in order to buy a new whatever sports equipment or tournament my kids need next. I don’t love waiting in parking lots or waiting on others to make decisions…. In fact I hate that part.
.
All of this creates a season for me. Like winter or hurricane season. Wildfire or tornado season. Just a season. One that I can’t always choose the outcome but I know won’t last forever. 
.
It’s so hard to be outside of what I thought life would be like for me in this season of aging.
.
My poor friend Lauren is in the heat of toddler life. She’s struggling with it as a 40+ year old woman. I’m 46 and can’t imagine that stage with my age!
.
However, I’d go back to it and start over any day. I won’t tell her that though. I hated when people told me that as if I should be ashamed for wanting to be more than a mom or wife.
.
So many things I would do differently. Better. More present and aware. More kind to myself.
.
I’m so grateful for my GiGi though. Emotional support animals know. She always knows. ❤️🐶
.
How is your today, friends? Remember… it’s just a season. 💙
