Hi! We're Jen and Rachel - a Family Medicine Doctor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and  both moms of 2!  Even with our expertise and training, we struggled with the emotional and mental adjustment of motherhood and experienced depression, anxiety and mood changes that felt completely new.  We weren't finding the support we needed in traditional care settings... But, surprisingly, podcasts ended up being our MOST valuable resource for finding the support we truly needed.  So that's why we're here!   Together, we built Bloom after Baby and began A Bit Frazzled podcast.  Our mission is to bring you all the essential information  from the top experts in maternal mental health, insights and experiences from other moms who've been through it, and conversations with the leading voices that are pushing for change in how we view the journey to motherhood and beyond. 

We are your best mom podcast resource for: 

* Mood changes in pregnancy in postpartum - what to expect and red flats to look out for* Hormone changes in pregnancy and postpartum and how these shifts relate to mood and mental health* Matrescence - the wholly-transformative process of becoming a mother* Relationship changes and family dynamics in early parenthood - the invisible mental load, resentment, the roommate stage* Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders - signs and symptoms, risk factors treatment options * And much more! 

So follow along!  We're here to bring you and your family the support you truly need in the all-encompassing transformation to motherhood.
