BOAM is a birth and postpartum, honest motherhood platform. Here, we come together to reveal the spectrum of truths about what it can feel and mean to become a mother through personal storytelling and expert interviews. All stories of pregnancy, birth and postpartum have at least one thing in common: matrescence. The massive life change that is becoming a mother. It's rarely discussed or acknowledged for what it is and the level of support it requires. And I'm here to change that. One raw story and wisdom-shedding conversation at a time.

46. The Motherhood Gap: Why Modern Moms Are Struggling (And It’s Not Their Fault) with Kelly Conroy

Why does motherhood in America feel so isolating? Matrescence Educator Kelly Conroy explains how evolutionary biology and social systems are out of sync—leaving new mothers unsupported and overwhelmed. We discuss how understanding the neurobiology of caregiving and the anthropology of community can help mothers rebuild the village they were meant to have.
