Ever feel like you're doing it ALL and it's never ENOUGH?

My guest today, Erica Djossa is a registered psychotherapist, sought-after maternal mental health specialist, and the founder of wellness company Momwell. Erica is frequently featured in media publications and her popular Momwell podcast has over a million downloads. 

Her book - Releasing the Mother Load: How to Carry Less and Enjoy Motherhood More comes out TODAY (Tuesday, April 9th) and our conversation today highlights so much of the meaningful work inside it.

After she shares her "breakdown to breakthrough", Erica reiterates it’s not just us - MOMS ARE NOT OKAY.  She introduces ideas like the motherload, our motherhood filing cabinet, and an activity called a Values Sort to help us become more conscious of the default patterns we've found ourselves in and how to dig our way out.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

• Where the myth of the "perfect mother" comes from
• The 5 core beliefs of "intensive mothering" and what to replace them with
• The measuring stick we should use to evaluate ourselves instead of blood, sweat and tears

DON'T MISS-

• What it truly means to be a good mom
