136: How to Carry Less While Enjoying Motherhood More with Erica Djossa Holding Space

In this episode I invited Erica Djossa, Canadian based psychotherapist, founder of Momwell, and author of the book Releasing the Motherload: How to Carry Less and Enjoy Motherhood More, back on to the podcast!
Together we discuss:
• An introduction to intensive mothering: unpacking societal expectations and the weight of invisible burdens in motherhood.
• The role of comparison and social media in exacerbating feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm.
• Strategies for releasing control and redistributing responsibilities to alleviate burnout and foster personal growth.
• Embracing values over perfectionism: practical steps for identifying core values and aligning actions with your most aligned beliefs.
• Recognizing the potential for growth and transformation when we embrace discomfort.
• Creating space for self-care within motherhood: the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing mental well-being.
