E33: The Realities of Motherhood: What no one Prepares you for, with Erin Ference, MSW

from Delivered: finding victory after Postpartum Depression · host Athena Estelle

In this special episode of Delivered, we are joined by Erin Ference, MSW. She is the Social Work Team Lead for Inpatient Case Management at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. In our episode, we dive into the truth that Motherhood is beautiful, but let's be real—it's also messy, exhausting, and nothing like the picture-perfect moments we see on social media. We discuss the unfiltered realities of being a mom—the struggles, the guilt, the unexpected challenges, and the moments no one warns you about. From the mental load to the identity shifts, we're talking about it all with honesty and vulnerability. Whether you're a new mom feeling overwhelmed or a seasoned parent, this conversation is here to remind you that you ARE NOT alone. Grab a cup of coffee (or reheat the one you forgot about), and let's get real about motherhood.
