In this engaging episode, I had a chance to sit down with a very important guest, Zoe Klein. She is a social worker and maternal health provider specializing in supporting mothers through pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. Together, we've explored the challenges faced by new mothers, the societal pressure around parenting, and the importance of advocating for one's own choices and well-being. Join us as we unpack the often-unspoken realities of early parenthood and the need for compassionate support systems.
