What makes someone choose to be a parent? With @modernmomprobs Tara Clark
Manage episode 510171780 series 3191572
In this thoughtful Earth Xperience episode, Dani sits down with Tara Clark, creator of Modern Mom Probs, to explore how childhood, religion, motherhood, and identity all shape the way we show up in life. From infertility and the longing for one healthy child to the reality of raising that child without a village, Tara reflects on the choices that shaped her path and the belief systems she kept, questioned, or let go.
They talk about the weight of people pleasing, why modern motherhood feels so isolating, and the quiet pressure to become a brand online. Together, they unpack moments that feel both personal and universal: learning to trust yourself, feeling alone while doing everything “right,” and the blurry line between faith and fear.
Questions explored in this episode include:
• What does it mean to believe in God but not follow religion?
• How do you raise a child without forcing your past beliefs on them?
• Why is it so hard to ask for help as a mother?
• What do we share online and what do we protect?
• Can you break cycles without breaking yourself?
Whether you are a parent, a content creator, or someone navigating the tension between tradition and personal growth, this conversation makes space for nuance, honesty, and quiet courage.
