Description

BOAM is a birth and postpartum, honest motherhood platform. Here, we come together to reveal the spectrum of truths about what it can feel and mean to become a mother through personal storytelling and expert interviews. All stories of pregnancy, birth and postpartum have at least one thing in common: matrescence. The massive life change that is becoming a mother. It's rarely discussed or acknowledged for what it is and the level of support it requires. And I'm here to change that. One raw story and wisdom-shedding conversation at a time.
