TENTANG EPISODE INI
The first step to creating change is often creating awareness - and by giving the shift into motherhood a name, we are raising awareness about how profound the change is.
Becoming a mother can bring enormous love alongside uncertainty, grief for a former life, identity shifts, and a new mental load. Giving this transition a name can make it easier to understand what is changing and ask for the support you need.
