New mothers (and all mothers!) thrive with support from family, friends, and community. Schedule today at www.alexisdragun.com to explore how your support system is showing up for you in your new role as a mother.

This is such an important observation and truth from Alanis.

These societal pressures have a real impact. So much of that becomes internalized and we then start to even put that pressure on ourselves. It's even harder when you become a mother because you have a new level of responsibility, are learning a lot of new things, and have very real needs for healing, community, partnership, and support.

Alanis Morissette shares how these dynamics impacted her. Celebrity and Fame do not protect people from this, it may actually be another layer of complexity. When she became a mom, the pressures of it all contributed to the difficulties she experienced

Please join this conversation in collaboration with Postpartum Support International to learn more about her postpartum journey and listen to how eloquently she speaks about the transformation we undergo as mothers in episode 336 of Mom & Mind™ podcast.
