Navigating Motherhood While Grieving Your Mom | Loss, Postpartum & Healing with Desiree Logan

In this episode of the Highlight Your Healing Podcast, Shannon is joined by Desiree, founder of Mamas Mosaic Collective, for an honest conversation about grief, motherhood, postpartum depression, and the pressure Black women often feel to remain strong through it all.Desiree shares her experience losing the two most influential women in her life — her grandmother and mother, and what it was like stepping into motherhood while carrying unresolved grief.Desiree discusses the emotional weight of becoming a mother without your own mother physically here, the identity shifts that come with postpartum, and how grief can surface in unexpected ways when life changes.This conversation also challenges the “superwoman” narrative that leaves many Black women feeling isolated and unsupported, while reminding listeners that healing was never meant to happen alone.If you’ve ever struggled with grief, motherhood, identity shifts, or feeling like you have to carry everything by yourself, this episode will remind you that there is strength in being held too.Connect with Desiree:Website: www.mamasmosaic.orgInstagram: @mamas_mosaicEmail: [email protected] Connected with Shannon:Website: https://highlightyourhealing.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/highlight_your_healingIf you're looking for support on your healing journey, I offer 1:1 grief coaching, workshops, or speaking opportunities.Click below to learn more:https://calendy.com/highlightyourhealing
