April 29, 2022 How to Be a New Mama with Allison Liberman, LMFT, PMHC
Most people who experience pregnancy loss do go on to have healthy, full-term babies. However, sometimes, we can experience a range of emotions that we weren’t expecting once we have that baby in our arms. In today’s episode, I speak with Allison Liberman, founder of The New Mama Mentor. Allison hosts The New Mama Mentor podcast, and she addresses how we transition from pregnancy to parenthood. New parents can feel very overwhelmed, and if you have experienced pregnancy loss, those overwhelmed feelings might feel even more overwhelming!
