Welcome to Mom Truths, brought to you by “The Motherhood Dilemma” podcast.

In today's episode, we are delighted to introduce Gabriella Bores. Gabriella is a postpartum coach, a mental health therapist specializing in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and the owner of Moms Mind Matters. She shares an inspiring story of growth, emphasizing that in motherhood, there is no such thing as perfection, only love. She believes that love is not a performance.

Gabriella contemplates her path as a mother and acknowledges that the notion of "performing" love steered her in the wrong direction. She recounts her journey of conquering anxiety and the quest for perfection in motherhood, emphasizing the significance of self-exploration and authentic self-care. In this episode, Gabriella not only shares her personal story but also draws from her professional expertise on anxiety, self-love, and self-compassion. We are truly thankful to have Gabriella as our guest on today's show!
