How Fernanda Rodrigues found a balance between being a mother and helping other women who go through the same

Only those who have children know how hard the work of raising them is and it’s not as simple as many margarine commercials sell out there. And it is thinking about this whole question that Fernanda Rodrigues opened her heart about what motherhood really means — and nothing is as beautiful as we see in the photos out there. Turns and moves, the actress shares the pains and delights of being a mother on her social networks and how challenging it can be.

Thinking about demystifying some concepts about motherhood, today, the awesome.club decided to bring Fernanda’s point of view about the real life of many mothers in our country. Who knows you can’t relate to her? Come with us!

Since a very young age, actress Fernanda Rodrigues has been working in the artistic world — music videos, appearances in commercials — and, from the age of 11, she began to dedicate herself as an actress, Vamp being her first soap opera on the global broadcaster. As the years went by, she consolidated her career and conquered many fans and viewers in our country.

A few years ago, Fernanda left soap operas aside and started presenting her own program on GNT, in addition to having a little extra time to dedicate to her most precious assets: her children. “I always wanted to be a mother, but when I realized my dream, I understood that I needed to share my experiences”.

In 2009, Fernanda became the mother of her first daughter, Luísa and, years later, she gave birth to Bento — both are the result of her relationship with actor Raoni Carneiro. And it was as a mother of two that she realized the importance of showing real motherhood to the world and breaking the paradigms of the romanticized version that many of us know.

“Sharing experiences with other mothers helps me and to this day I receive messages of thanks. I love being a mother, but I love talking about motherhood. (…) I delved into the subject, because I understood that it was a call to help other women. (…) It’s not just flowers to be a mother.”

Despite having always wanted to be a mother, the actress declared in an interview that she had a hard time, including a certain obsession when her first daughter was born: “I said I was going to be a mother at 18. I even said that in the interview. When I realized that dream, right after Luiza was born, I felt really bad, because it was the biggest dream of my life and I had fulfilled it. And then it ended, what are the next dreams? Did not have”. She declared the star.

As not everything is flowers, the process was a little painful for Fernanda, as she focused so much on the issue of motherhood, her daughter and her dreams, that she had to undergo therapy for a year to create new goals and focus on something that would no longer suffocate her — and that’s when she realized that raising a child is not as easy a task as many imagine.

“I lived so intensely that of being a mother, of being a mother, of being a mother, that I completely forgot about Fernanda, wife, daughter, friend. All the others I abandoned, I really abandoned. I didn’t care, it wasn’t funny. It was just fun to experience motherhood”.

“At the height of my dream of being a mother, it didn’t enter my head that someone might not want it. I said: there is no woman who doesn’t want to be a mother, we came into the world for that, I swear, I was that person, I clashed with many people. But later I understood and found it very legitimate for a person not to have this dream”.

Despite the regrets, she has found a healthy way through therapy to deal with her two children in a way in which she and her husband can help raise them — and that includes setting aside a day a week to experience her relationship with her husband. partner.

Furthermore, in order to help people who might go through the same problem and break the myth that being a mother is an easy task, Fernanda started to tell her experience on her blog on the internet and, later, she stopped to think, why not relive the memory and launch a book showing how she found the balance to be a mother and live a “light” life.

The actress tells her stories and the day-to-day life of being a mother in a simple and light way, because, in this way, she manages to spread the information and show what is actually real in the day of a woman who takes care of her children, be it the story simplest to the most complicated — someone will relate to reading the post she shared.

“Today we have books, women, influencers, bloggers. I wanted to talk to these women; show that it is difficult, but that we can do it. In addition, sharing experiences with other mothers helps me and to this day I receive messages of thanks, ”she said.
