169: Overcoming Grief as Our Children Age with Bryana Kappadakunnel, Marriage & Family Therapist

Between to-do lists, the mental load, and conflicting emotions, it can be very hard to know how to be more present as a mom. But it isn’t just worries about the future that keep us from being present—we also often find ourselves looking back on old memories and grieving as our children age, unsure of how to rediscover ourselves.  Today, I’m joined by marriage and family therapist Bryana Kappadakunnel, founder of Conscious Mommy, to unpack why we grieve as our children get older and how to be more present as a mom.

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.
