When you become a mom, you expect your life to change, but too little discussed are the changes that happen within you after having a baby. Getting to know yourself as a mother is a long, nonlinear journey that can simultaneously be the happiest you've ever been and the loneliest you've ever felt - but you don't have to do it alone.
I'm Melissa Wirt, mother-of-six, certified lactation consultant, and CEO & Founder of Latched Mama. Join me as I attempt to bring community back to motherhood through shared experiences, vulnerability, advice, and humor. With the help of expert guests, members of the Latched Mama community, and more often than not, my bff Lindi, we'll explore how support for one another can help us reach our best version of motherhood, whatever that looks like for you.

Episode 143: Supporting Families After a Disability Diagnosis
Hey Mamas! In this episode, we speak with Pam Beron, Founder of Highest Potential Pathways, where she offers her services as a disability life quality coach to families that are navigating raising a child with disabilities. In this transparent and vulnerable conversation, Pam walks us through the most inclusive language to use, helps us understand the stigma families that have received a diagnosis may experience and how to best support them, as well as how to talk to your own child about their own special needs.
