Season 4: Episode 16: Tending to your Mental Health in stepmotherhood with Guest, Jeni

Christina chats with Jeni, a mental health therapist specializing in maternal mental health. As a mother and stepmom herself, Jeni discusses the intersections of mental health and all forms of motherhood. Self care is drilled into us, but how do we really care for ourselves? Jeni and Christina chat the pressures to be "perfect", mom guilt, the relationships with our partners and our step-kids. Listen in!  About My Guest:  Jeni is a widow, wife, mom, and stepmom. Her step-kids are 9 and 8, and her biological kids are 5 and 3. With four kids, the house is very loud, and very full of love. Jeni works as a mental health therapist specializing in perinatal mental health (so all things maternal and then some), couples counseling, and other things in between. Music is a necessity to life, including hearing her husband sing show tunes. So much more than a podcast!!!
