Motherhood can bring exhaustion that goes far beyond needing more sleep. Based on the book A Happy, Healthy Mom, this online series brings together experts who work with mothers to explore the different sources of depletion and offer practical ways to find greater support.
The series explores:
- Recover from depletion: Jan Hanson and women’s health physician Ricki Pollycove address maternal depletion and advocating for health needs, while psychologist Rick Hanson focuses on developing the inner strengths that support asking for what you need.
- Release the mother load: Erica Djossa examines the pressure mothers feel to do everything, while perinatal specialist Divya Kumar shifts the conversation beyond individual self-care toward community care and building a supportive village.
- Share responsibility at home: Zach Watson and Laura Danger explore the mental and domestic load, including how partners can take greater ownership and how couples can challenge patterns that contribute to exhaustion and resentment.
- Protect connection: Couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish addresses rebuilding intimacy and connection during the demanding years of raising children.
The series is delivered over nine days, with each email featuring a video conversation focused on a particular aspect of maternal well-being and support.
