About Momwell

We often enter motherhood envisioning joy, nurturing, peace, and love. But the reality can blindside us. Nobody tells us about Mom Rage, overstimulation, intrusive thoughts, or other mental health struggles. Unfortunately, when we seek help, we might face a lack of support, a system that doesn’t put moms first, and a world that turns a blind eye to the challenges of motherhood. We’re here to change that. We believe that moms deserve access to community, support, and mental health literacy. If you’re struggling with motherhood, you’re not alone–and you’re not failing. On The Momwell Podcast, host and psychotherapist Erica Djossa teaches strategies to help you cope with the psychological and emotional load of motherhood and prioritize your mental health and wellbeing. Erica shares the best kept secrets of the therapy world and interviews other professionals (psychologists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, fertility specialists, lactation consultants, and more!) who provide their expertise to empower you on your motherhood journey.

268: How to Communicate Your Needs as a Mom with Author Mara Glatzel

Published 11 Jun 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And also, you don't know me. Don't assume that I just need something when we are in present time and asking for what we need and saying, hey, sending a text, hey, today was rough. Could you pick up the baby when you get home and you walk through the door so that I could have 10 minutes by myself behind a closed door. That would be amazing. You know, that changes so much being willing and it's vulnerable. It's vulnerable to ask for what you need directly. And that's one of the reasons that we don't do it. But if we want to get our needs met, we have to learn how to ask. And we have to practice also the tolerance of other people not having the capacity to meet our needs. […]
