Episode 16. You're Not Alone with Mind Over Mom
We have TWO special guests today! Mind Over Mom is a podcast for moms, by moms. Nikki and Alyssa are two moms who are real life friends, and while they spent much of their early motherhood journeys together, neither one had any idea that the other was struggling with mental illness. They started their podcast to break the stigmas around mental illness in motherhood, to build a bank of resources for moms, and build a community. Their core goal is to help moms never feel as alone as they did. It’s all about mental health in motherhood, so grab a cup of tea and sit with us!
In this episode, we discuss:

How even though you can be side by side, it still feels hard to talk about the reality of your experience as a mother
Being vulnerable so moms won’t feel alone
