43. Choosing What’s Right for You: Working Motherhood, Values, and Mental Health with Maya Bailey
Send us a text
In this episode, I sit down with Maya Bailey, a licensed mental health counselor, mom, and private practice owner, for an honest conversation about the emotional layers of working motherhood.
Maya shares her personal journey—navigating prenatal depression, leaving traditional employment to start her own practice, and redefining what success looks like as both a mom and a professional. Together, we unpack the guilt, pressure, and comparison so many mothers feel when trying to "do it all," and how important it is to come back to your own values when making choices about work, life, and motherhood.
We also talk about the power of therapy as a space to process transitions, honor your needs, and learn how to let go of external expectations.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough—or the right thing—this episode will remind you that your path is allowed to look different.
In this episode, we explore:
- The emotional side of working motherhood
- How to tune out societal pressure and tune into your values
- Releasing comparison and competition among moms
- How therapy can support you through career or identity shifts
