Late Night Chat, Casually Eradicating Stigma

In this heartfelt and spontaneous episode of The Momma's Lounge, I delve into the stigma surrounding the struggles of motherhood and the misconception that it equates to not loving one's baby. I highlight the importance of breaking the silence and sharing postpartum experiences to help erase this harmful notion. Through personal anecdotes and insights from Dr. Molly Millwood's book 'To Have and To Hold', the episode underscores that mental health challenges do not reflect a mother's love for her child. I aim to create a supportive village for mothers, advocating for openness and mutual support to combat feelings of isolation and shame.
