Millennial moms, where you at?! With May being Maternal Metnal Health Awareness Month, Emily is sitting down with therapist and perinatal mental health expert Allie McQuaid (@millennialmomtherapist) to explore the complex and often overwhelming reality of mental health for millennial moms.
From pandemic parenting and the intense mental load to breaking generational cycles and managing perfectionism, this conversation is a must-listen for moms who feel like they’re doing it all — and still questioning whether it’s enough.
Allie shares insights from her work with moms, her personal motherhood journey, and how social media, societal pressure, and motherhood myths are shaping the modern maternal mental health crisis.
They discuss:
- The emotional toll of pandemic-era motherhood
- Perfectionism and the pressure to “do it all”
- What millennial moms are really struggling with in 2025
- Why mental health support still hasn’t caught up
- How to start regulating your emotions as a mom
Whether you’re a first-time mom or parenting your third through burnout, this episode reminds you: you are not alone — and you are worthy.
