Episode Details

The long-awaited Part 2 of our maternal mental health conversation is here—and this one goes even deeper.

In this episode, I sit down with licensed counselor Frances Rosa for a raw, honest, and incredibly important conversation about the parts of motherhood that so often go unseen… and unspoken.

We talk about the emotional weight modern moms carry—from navigating boundaries during pregnancy and postpartum, to the pressure of social media, to the quiet work of healing our own inner wounds while raising our children. This isn’t just about motherhood—it’s about identity, resilience, and learning how to care for yourself while caring for everyone else.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you’re trying to hold it all together while silently struggling… this conversation is for you.

Fran brings both professional insight and deep compassion to this space, creating a conversation that feels not only validating—but empowering.

Because you’re not alone in this. And you were never meant to do it all alone.
