Hey Friend!

In this special episode for mothers, I dive into the challenges and joys of motherhood with a licensed therapist and author Rachel Elmore. 

Rachel shares her personal journey with postpartum depression and how it led her to dedicate her career to helping other moms in all stages of motherhood. With her new book, "A Mom is Born," Rachel provides practical insights, therapeutic tools, and a wellness plan for new and expectant mothers, helping them navigate the often overwhelming world of motherhood. We discuss the pressures and expectations placed on new moms and how to navigate them with grace and self-compassion.

We also delve into the importance of having a postpartum plan and the concept of a "postpartum pack" to help new moms navigate the challenges of motherhood. 

This conversation encourages and empowers mothers to embrace their roles and trust God's plan for them as parents. Join us for an uplifting and inspiring conversation that will leave you feeling supported and equipped to take on the beautiful journey of motherhood.
