Erica Djossa is the founder and CEO of Momwell, a Registered Psychotherapist and mom of 3. You may know her from her viral motherhood graphics on Instagram or book, Releasing the Motherload. In todays conversation, Erica gives practical tools for avoiding burnout and reducing the overwhelm of motherhood by managing the mental load. She breaks down how to work with your partner, set boundaries and get support to finally stop struggling and enjoy motherhood more.

We discuss:

-Tips for releasing the load to others including finding “tolerable common standards”

-How to spot mental health red flags for yourself and your partner

-When to choose individual versus couples therapy to work through relationship issues

-How therapy can help through motherhood from TTC to birth trauma, pregnancy, postpartum, returning to work and parenting challenges

-Understanding mom guilt and how to avoid shame spirals

-Misconceptions about parenting that cause unrealistic expectations

-How to build self-compassion and trust as a mom

-Erica’s experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD and parenting a neurodivergent child
