Every mom wants to be a good parent—but if you’ve found yourself burned out and overwhelmed trying to be “the perfect mom,” you’re not alone. “We get handed a rulebook of motherhood without realizing it,” says Canada's maternal mental health specialist and the founder and CEO of Momwell Erica Djossa. “That rulebook comes with an invisible load—a world of mental and physical tasks that keep us pushing toward perfection while barely being able to breathe.” In todays podcast, Erica talks about her book "Releasing the Motherload" - and shares suggestions on how to help you break free from the crushing burden of unrealistic expectations and reclaim the joy of motherhood while staying true to your own values.To purchase a copy of Releasing the Motherload, click here
