Description

A postpartum podcast for new and expectant mothers. Candid, deep, real conversations with moms sharing their journeys to motherhood. From deciding to become a mother, pregnancy and birth or adoption to postpartum and beyond. I want to take the shame and fear out of discussing the struggles that many women endure during this incredible, life-altering, momentous phase of life. The changes we go through as we transition into motherhood should be shared more openly in order to help fellow and future moms throughout their experiences. Join me as I speak with a different mom each episode and discuss what it is really like to become a mother. Instagram: @becomingamotherpodcast @b_pepeolson
