Dr. Angel Montfort is a mother of four and a perinatal mental health psychologist. She understands the heaviness that comes with motherhood and is here to coach us through the changes and challenges this role brings. This is an episode we both wish we would have had when we were brand new to motherhood. We hope it hits home to those of you struggling through the baby blues, mom guilt, speaking to yourself kindly, and accepting yourself in your role as a mother.MEET <a href='https://www.instagram.com/drangelmontfort/'>DR.

Are you looking for a strategy to the health challenges you have been facing recently? Do you feel like you have been staring at a stranger in the mirror since becoming a mother?&nbsp; Abby and Amy get vulnerable with topics around partnership, motherhood, health, and self improvement by interviewing authors, therapists, experts and everyday mothers. Our conversations will meet you with solutions and solidarity as you find a life path that feels aligned for you.
