EPISODE 10: Mother's Day is Complicated.

This week on The Millennial Mama Memo:🌸 Millennial Mama Mix: This episode drops the day after Mother's Day, and Lauren opens by naming something that doesn't get said enough — that Mother's Day is complicated, and that's okay. From there she gets into matrescence: the developmental life stage of transitioning from being a person to being a person who is also a mother. Like adolescence, it's uncomfortable and disorienting across every dimension of life at once. And like adolescence, it's something you move through — not something that means something is wrong with you. 🛋️ Pink Couch Post-Its: A proper introduction to both support groups. Mama Mess Hall is for any mom, anywhere, at any stage. The Break Room is specifically for moms who are also spaceholders or providers — because it's genuinely hard to just show up as a mom when other participants might recognize you as an expert. Both groups meet Mondays and are free, virtual, and drop-in. 💟 Favorites Folder: Two things for your brain this week. Brick is a physical NFC device that blocks apps on your phone on a set schedule — Lauren used it to go social-media-free all weekend without having to rely on willpower. And the one color coloring book from Still and Slow is exactly what it sounds like: one color per page, tactile and meditative and genuinely restful for an ADHD brain. 🫶🏻 One Last Thing: Consultation calls are open every week for individual therapy, couples therapy, and ART. And the provider partnership opportunity is still available for anyone in the perinatal space who wants to make mental health support more proactive for their patients. 🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/millennial_mama_therapyNew episodes weekly.
