Did motherhood transform your identity?     It can be hard to cope with the rapid changes that motherhood brings.     We might feel lost or unsure about who we are–and we might feel like we’re “supposed” to abandon ourselves in the process.     Matrescence, or the transition into motherhood, isn’t easy.     It does change us–but that doesn’t mean we have to lose ourselves.     Working with a mom therapist can help you maintain important pieces of who you are, reclaim your identity, and prioritize yourself in motherhood.     Find out if we serve your area and if we’re in-network for your insurance company—and book a FREE 15 minute consult at momwell.com/booking

If there’s one question I hear often from my mom clients it’s “How do I know if I’m done having babies?”     It’s a complicated question with an even more complicated answer!     We often search for a feeling of “doneness,” something that tells us we no longer want to have more children.     And some of us do reach that “done” moment. But for many of us, the decision just isn’t that straightforward.     That’s why it’s important to be able to have different birth control options, both short-term and long-term, while we work through the difficult decision.     This week on The Momwell Podcast, we’re diving into birth control options after having a baby with OB-GYN Dr. Fran Haydanek    To be one of the first notified when this episode drops, subscribe to The Momwell Podcast at momwell.com/listen
