What No One Tells You About Becoming a Mom

Motherhood is beautiful, but people don’t always talk about the hard parts. In this video, I’m pulling from my own experience as a therapist, mom, friend, and woman who went through the transition to motherhood. I talk about things I wish I had known before becoming a mom, like grieving your old self, shifts in relationships, body image, and why it’s okay if you don’t bond with your baby right away. This video got emotional for me. I didn’t expect to cry, but I did. If you're a mom or about to become one, I hope this helps you feel less alone.
