Description

Did you always daydream about the day you would hopefully become a Mom? Or envision yourself holding a new baby with all the magical feels? Then the day arrives and you have to shift into the reality of motherhood, an all consuming role we've had no training for. How do we make the shift into motherhood without losing who we are? How do we retain our pre-Mom identity? Motherhood has a way of shaping each of us. Every Mom evolves over time. We are challenged to explore depths of ourselves we've often avoided and learn the true meaning of unconditional love. In this episode, Therapist Chasity Holcomb and I talk about how we can maintain our identity in motherhood through exploration, rediscovery, and prioritizing that time spent on ourselves.

Your kids might look to you for all the answers, but you’re probably struggling with your own questions. How do I survive the postpartum period? How do I raise good humans when I’m just trying to survive? How do I cope with the load of motherhood? No matter what “type” of mom you are, becoming a mother is a journey—one that doesn’t always feel like a straight line. On the Happy as a Mother Podcast, host and psychotherapist Erica Djossa teaches strategies to help you cope with the psychological and emotional load of motherhood. Your metamorphosis into motherhood might not look “perfect.” It’s full of mess, chaos, and frustration. But with expert advice, practical tips, self-love, and coping skills, you can become the mother you want to be. Erica shares the best kept secrets of the therapy world and interviews other professionals (psychologists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, fertility specialists, lactation consultants, and more!) who provide their expertise to empower you on your motherhood journey.
