Brief summary of show:

In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, we are joined by special guest Ilana Shapiro Yahdav, an advanced certified grief recovery specialist.

Known for her personal experience of losing her father to brain cancer right after her 24th birthday, Ilana shares her journey through grief recovery and her commitment to helping others, notably mothers, navigate their own grieving processes. The conversation explores the concept of 'matrescence'—the transition into motherhood—and how it parallels adolescence, impacting identity and emotional wellbeing. Ilana introduces practical strategies for self-care, building community, and validating the complex emotions that accompany motherhood. She also provides insights on coping with the lingering psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasizes the importance of compassion and communication.
