    32. SSRI's, Bad Days & A Mom Guilt Moment

    Raw, unfiltered, and a little all over the place, but in the best way. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of recording through technical difficulties (because… of course), and into a deeper conversation about a recent ER experience, being on SSRIs, and the mental health stigma that still exists in medical settings. We also get into embracing bad days instead of fighting them, what it really means to “be a villager” (and why we weren’t meant to do life alone), and the constant push and pull between personal growth and mom guilt. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to heal, grow, and hold everything together at the same time… this one’s for you!

    31. Talking Postpartum Mental Health with a Perinatal Therapist

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of birth trauma, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, and perinatal mental health challenges. Motherhood is beautiful,  but it can also feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating. In this episode of Mom Dump, I’m joined by Dyneisha, a registered social worker and therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health, life tranistions and all things parenthood. We dive deep into the emotional realities that so many moms experience but rarely say out loud. We talk about: • What perinatal mental health actually means • The difference between baby blues, “baby pinks,” and postpartum depression • Understanding and normalizing intrusive thoughts • How to recognize when someone may be struggling • Expectations vs. reality in early motherhood • Why so many moms feel guilt, shame, or silence • And how we start having these conversations without fear This episode is honest, validating, and incredibly important. Whether you're in the thick of it, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand motherhood on a deeper level, this conversation matters. You are not broken. You are not alone. And your thoughts do not define you. If this conversation resonated with you — if you heard parts of your own story in it — you don’t have to carry that weight by yourself. Dyneisha is currently accepting new clients, virtually, across Ontario. No referrals or diagnosis needed. She offers free 20-minute consultation calls as a gentle first step. No pressure, just support. Many of her services are covered through extended health benefits, so accessing care may be more within reach than you think. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, understood, and supported in this season of motherhood, learn more about Dyneisha or explore therapy services, you can visit: https://www.hazelandtealtherapy.com/ or BOOK NOW here:  https://hazelandtealtherapy.janeapp.com/#staff_member/1

In this episode, I sit down with Alina (you can follow her at @alinamlinarova) for a raw and honest conversations about motherhood beyond the episode.

We explore:• The identity shift that no one prepares you for• Why seeking help is strength, not failure• Generational perspectives on parenting• How treating motherhood as real labor changes everything• Finding balance without chasing unrealistic standards This conversation is for the mother who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure of who she is becoming.

    28. Living Between Wanting More & Wanting Less

    In this episode, I’m getting honest about the messy middle of motherhood and work, the guilt, the pressure. I talk about: - the real challenges of being a working mom and a stay-at-home mom - navigating work and mom guilt (on both sides) - my past jobs - channeling the unapologetic, do-it-my-own-way energy of 2016 - what it’s like to deal with online backlash when you choose visibility This isn’t advice from a pedestal. It’s a conversation from the couch, honest, imperfect, and rooted in reality. If you’ve ever felt like no option fits cleanly… this one’s for you.

    27. Boudoir, Bodies & Being Seen After Motherhood

    In this Mom Dump, we go there! Today, we have Melissa Therese joining us to talk all about boudoir and breaking the stigma around moms, sexuality, and body positivity. We unpack self-awareness, jealousy among women, our romantic relationships and what it really means to see ourselves clearly, without shame. We explore how boudoir can impact self-image, how family dynamics shape the way we show up as mothers, and why vulnerability (yes, even crying in front of our kids) isn’t weakness, it’s human. This episode is honest, emotional, empowering, and very real.If you’ve ever questioned your body, your confidence, or your place in motherhood, this one’s for you!

    * please forgive the quality, my mom brain wasn't working & I was speaking into the microphone backwards * yeah .... so anyways... January doesn’t need more pressure, it needs clarity.

We’re diving into: Why most vision boards don’t work (and how to make one that your nervous system can actually support)Why I do Dry January every year, not for discipline, but for emotional clarityStoicism as emotional regulation, not detachmentHow I’m embracing a more analog life to feel present againThis isn’t about doing more or fixing yourself.It’s about removing what’s drowning you out and starting the year from a grounded place. If January usually overwhelms you, this episode is for you.
