Description

Modern moms carry an unfair share of the invisible load—the mental and emotional labour of taking care of the house and raising the kids. The problem is widespread—and breaking out of the pattern can be tough. But with the right approach, we can learn how to share the mental load at home in a fair and intentional way. I sat down with Kate Mangino, gender expert and author of Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home for a two-part discussion on the way gender norms shape the distribution of labour in the home. In part 1, we discussed the impact of that imbalance. Today, we dive into ways we unintentionally reinforce gender norms and how to break away from them. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3ArFukU

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.
