Episode 63 - Mental Health Check-In: Motherhood and the Pandemic

Each month, Still Becoming brings you a Mental Health Check-In episode. These episodes are focused on mental health, emotional health, or personal growth, and involve a short teaching and a few take aways in around 15 to 20 minutes. The idea is to take a therapeutic topic or technique and expand it to help us in our everyday lives.⁣ ⁣ This week we are talking about Motherhood and the Pandemic. Maybe like you, I was sent the recent NYT series on motherhood during them pandemic that came out this week by so many people. This clearly hit a nerve - an underserved nerve that is not discussed enough. In addition to that, I have 2 guests on the podcast this month - Rachel Macy Stafford and Sissy Goff talking about parenting. I wanted to make some concrete space to discuss this topic. Being a mother, being a father, being a caregiver of any kid during this pandemic has been challenging. Although I highlight motherhood, this is applicable to all parents. In this real talk short episode I hope to add to the discussion and help you feel seen by naming some things and offering some tips. We are in this together. ⁣ To find Still Becoming on Instagram, follow Monica at @monicadicristina.
