Summary

You guys are in for a treat today because we have Erica Djossa; formerly known as Happy as a Mother, now known as Momwell, on the show. We feel like her mission and our mission here at the HERself podcast run side by side. We both try to get women and mothers the best information possible.


Throughout this interview we nod our heads along with all the advice Erica gives on topics including the invisible load in motherhood, what causes the feeling of being on edge, toxic positivity and so much more.


At the end of the episode, Erica speaks on Dads. We get asked so often, from you, about how your partner/husband can get resources. We wanted to make sure we covered that inside this interview as well. Because we all know Dads and partners struggle too.

But really what toxic positivity is, and sort of from my perspective, is us trying to

nudge or push someone towards being positive or grateful when they're just

0:12.6

simply not ready. They're not in that headspace yet.

I'm Amy, and I'm Abby, and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to

0:25.8

others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best

0:31.0

south means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to

0:34.7

grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real, with an honest look into the

0:39.4

challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening is the

0:43.6

opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

You guys are in for a treat today because we have Erica Jasa, formerly known

as happy as a mother, now known as mom well, and she is just a wealth of

information. I really feel like her mission and our mission are running side by

1:06.7

side, and we're really trying to get women and mothers the best information

1:11.4

possible. So throughout this interview, we were just nodding our heads. She was

1:15.8

giving very specific, tangible advice. I do want to point out at the end of

1:20.1

the interview, she starts talking about dads. And from you guys, we hear so

1:24.8

often like, how does my partner get resources? How does my husband get

1:29.2

resources? And so we wanted to make sure we covered that question inside of

1:34.4

this interview. And it's one thing that Erica has become really passionate

1:38.3

about talking about insurving dads and fathers. And we do know that they
