#18 | Embracing the Transition to Motherhood with Jane of Newtown Wellness
The Discerning Mother
In this episode, I’m joined by Jane from Newtown Wellness, a licensed professional counselor and perinatal mental health expert. We dive deep into the emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation that happens when a woman becomes a mother and why this sacred season deserves more support than our culture often provides. Together, we explore: The invisible load of motherhood and how to name it Why setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s essential How to actually ask for help (and receive it) The impact of unresolved trauma on the postpartum experience What healthy support can look like, even when it’s not perfect Encouragement for new moms who feel like they're drowning Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting a mom in your life, this conversation is an honest, hope-filled reminder that you’re not alone and you’re not doing it wrong! 🔗 Connect with Jane and learn more about her work: newtownwellness.com Let’s keep the conversation going!

About Podcast
Welcome to The Discerning Mother, the podcast where building a thriving business and becoming a whole woman are not two different goals. Most wellness podcasts will tell you to regulate your nervous system. Most business podcasts will tell you to try another strategy.
This one will tell you why those won't work.
This is where faith, health, and business strategy collide.
Each week we talk about:
- How your nervous system is either building your business or quietly sabotaging it
- Why rewiring your nervous system and identity unlocks what regulation never could
- Real strategy for scaling without burning the woman behind the brand
- What Catholic/Christian theology has to say about money, ambition, and becoming
- How to have more without doing more
- Doing it all while being a present, joyful, peaceful mother & 6 or 7 figure business owner
This is not hustle culture with a rosary or prayers on top. This is the real work; the kind that changes what you are capable of in your business, your body, your marriage, and your motherhood (& by default, the world! Right, St. Mother Teresa?!).
Whether you are listening as you prep for a client call or folding laundry, it's time for you to dive in!
