Unlocking Peace, Joy and Harmony in Motherhood with Dr. LaToya Wiggins

As I reflect on the precious time spent with my own mother and witness the incredible strength and resilience of friends and family members who are mothers, my admiration and respect for them has grown immensely over the years. And, it is increasingly evident that moms in my network spent more time focused on the well-being of everyone else besides themselves. Their children, spouses or partners, parents, and the list goes on & on.

 

What I now realize is that behind the veil of motherhood, there are often untold stories of the immense challenges and sacrifices that moms face, from the profound emotional rollercoaster to the struggles with guilt, self-doubt, and the pressure to be perfect, all of which remain unspoken to the outside world. One of the subjects really discussed (at least in my circle) is postpartum depression.

 

But let's be real, postpartum depression is crucial to discuss because it sheds light on a common but often overlooked mental health issue that affects many new mothers. In fact, conversations such as these are essential because they validate the experiences of countless mothers who may be silently suffering and experiencing shame or guilt for experiencing depression during what is commonly perceived as a joyous time in their lives.

 

In this episode, Dr. LaToya Wiggins and I discuss the importance of normalizing mental health therapy and self-care for women (generally) and mothers (specifically). Dr. Wiggins shares her personal journey with mental health and how nourishing herself physically, mentally, and spiritually helped her overcome it. We also talk about the need for finding a safe space and tribe of people who uplift and empower each other. Tune in for an insightful conversation on mental health and self-care for black women.

 

I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:

• Gratitude for mothers
• Prioritizing Self-Care
• Embracing the messiness
• Honest and authentic
• Seeking harmony
• A nourished mind, body, and soul
• Start small for big results
