In this episode, we’re joined by Courtney Bognar is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Rogue Healing Psychotherapy, a private practice dedicated to supporting individuals navigating perinatal mental health, mood disorders, and the challenges of caregiving roles. With a background in teaching and a passion for fostering resilience, Courtney combines lived experience with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients unhook from difficult emotions and create meaningful lives.
Courtney offers powerful insights into:
• The emotional struggles many mothers experience but hesitate to talk about.
• How therapy can provide a safe space for moms to process and heal.
• Practical tips for balancing self-care with the demands of motherhood.
• Why normalizing mental health conversations benefits not just mothers but entire families.

2. How to recognize when you need support and where to start.
