Pregnancy and motherhood are glamorized as the most joyful times of a mother’s life. You’ve heard of the joys of pregnancy and motherhood, but the unexpected reality is seldom revealed when you’ve lived them. The challenges of motherhood may have left you feeling sad, exhausted, inadequate, shameful, worried, guilty, and disconnected from your baby or your old self. Adjusting to the new role of motherhood while trying to balance prior roles and relationships may feel impossible to nurture when your roles are constantly shifting.
