What's up, Batty Bees? I'm Brianna, Mom, Wife, Serial Entrepreneur, and host of the Badass Basic Bitch Podcast.

Each week, I sit down with a seemingly ordinary woman who's doing extraordinary things,

and I get to share her story with you. So let's go. Buckle up as we're going to get real and dive

into the shit nobody talks about. Welcome to the Batty B Club.

Beautiful. Welcome to the Batty B Club. I think that loving your baby, but not loving the transition to being a mom is totally okay.

It doesn't make you a bad mom. It doesn't make you a neglectful mom. It doesn't

make you a shitty mom. It just means that this moment is not your favorite. And that's totally

okay. Welcome back to another episode of Badass Basic Bitch.

On today's episode, we have Aaron Schlossmann.

Working as a counselor in Colorado, Aaron's passion is helping women discover their way through challenges of womanhood, motherhood, and the transition from preconception to bringing

a baby home. Today, we are going to talk about all of the ups and downs of becoming a mom

and the support that's needed, especially in that fourth trimester. So, Erin, thank you so much for being here today.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

Why don't you go ahead and give our listeners a little bit more of a summary about your

background, who you are, and your credentials?

Sure. So I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado. I'm also a mom of two. And I have been running a private practice here in Colorado since 2018 to support women while they're pregnant or trying to get pregnant. And then once they are pregnant and after bringing baby home,

after bringing baby home can be that immediate postpartum, but it can also be, you know,

until baby's like four because the transition to motherhood is just, there's a lot of role

identity changes that happen. Real quick, I do agree

that that four age is like a magical number. I had to say that because you're like, until four,

I'm like, yes. Yes, because that's when they sort of become like real people. They're real people

the whole time, but like they can communicate their needs and tell you kind of where they're at, I guess depending on the four-year-old.
