The Invisible Load, Mom Rage and Self Care with Erica Djossa

Your Cup of Joy with Ariana Joy Christie

On this episode of Your Cup of Joy, I invite guest Erica Djossa to the podcast! Erica is the CEO and founder of Momwell, and a registered psychotherapist, specializing in maternal mental health with over a decade of experience. As a mother of three rambunctious young boys, Erica understands first-hand the challenges of motherhood. Perfectionism, pressure, and loss of identity fueled her battle with postpartum depression, realizing how difficult it is to seek care. She founded Momwell to set a standard of care for providers and ensure mom-centered specialized mental health support at any stage of motherhood.
Tune in as Erica and I dive deep into the invisible load that so many moms carry around without even realizing it. Erica shares insights from her book on unlearning beliefs and tasks-based evaluations that cause us so much stress. We discuss balancing work and family, challenging gender roles, and finding that always fleeting time for self care. Erica helps break down the major feelings of overwhelm and burnout, maternal mom rage and gives tips for sharing the load with your partner. Learning how to prioritize our well being so we can be the best versions of ourselves for our family is such a valuable skill.
