In Part Two of our conversation with Shelley Bee, creator of Middle-aged Mama Drama, we dive deeper into her life as a mother, starting with her experience of non-traditional motherhood as a single parent from age 33.
Shelley details the immense stress of juggling full-time work and caregiving, explaining how the resulting exhaustion led to emotional absence for her first child, contributing to an anxious preoccupied attachment style.
Shelley and Josh discuss the heavy reality of single motherhood and how the “survival mode” of juggling all of it applies.
We explore the direct impact this stress has on a child’s attachment style and why the “do it all” standard is a dangerous myth. This ties in to the surprising birth of her second child at 43, who was identified as having both dyslexia and ADHD, and the journey of pursuing early intervention like neuro-feedback.
